How much data do you really need?

1/11/2018

Using fertility awareness as contraception can seem like lots of work.

Record every day of your period, every waking temperature, every scrap of fluid.

Wake up at the same time every single day. Never drink alcohol, or get sick, or travel, or get stressed.

Who can handle that?

Fortunately there's a limit to how much data you  really need, and a limit to how perfect your life has to be.

Of course there are minimum requirements. You do need to record day one of your period. If you can't do that, fertility awareness isn't for you. 

If that's the only thing you can handle doing, and 95% effectiveness is good enough, you could consider using the CycleBeads app as contraception.

It's based on the Standard Days Method of fertility awareness, which says women with cycles between 26 and 32 days long are fertile from cycle day 8 to cycle day 19.

Enter day one of your period and the app does the rest.

If you want a fertility awareness method that's over 99% effective with correct use you'll need to do a bit more.
