More and more women want natural contraception without hormones: reliable, medically sound, and without interfering with their own cycle as the pill does. Natural family planning methods (e.g., using the symptothermal method) allow you to reliably determine your fertile days—without any hormonal side effects. OvulaRing provides you with optimal support and helps you find the right hormone-free contraceptive method.
Natural family planning (NFP) means observing your cycle so that you can better assess your fertile and infertile days—without any hormones. Instead of interfering with your body, you learn to interpret your cycle signs correctly. Many women use NFP for both hormone-free contraception and family planning (e.g., when trying to conceive).
Important: NFP is not a “one-size-fits-all” solution, but rather a system of knowledge, routine, and (depending on the method) documentation. The clearer your rules and the more consistently you apply them, the more reliable your assessments will be.
Natural contraception is based on the fact that your body undergoes measurable changes around the time of ovulation. Typical physical signs are:
Temperature (basal body temperature): After ovulation, your body temperature rises and remains higher until your next period.
Cervical mucus: The consistency and amount change—around the fertile days, it usually becomes clearer, wetter, and more elastic.
Cervix (optional): Its position and texture can change during the cycle.
Cycle context: Sleep, stress, alcohol, illness, or travel can influence values—that’s why “disruptive factors” should also be observed.
In everyday life, this means combining (depending on the method) observation → recording → evaluation → decision-making. Some people use paper/manual rules for this, others use digital tools—the key is to be consistent and choose a method that fits your life.

– I like clear rules + am willing to document daily: symptothermal method
– I want to keep it as simple as possible: temperature method (with a clean routine)
– I want to observe rather than measure: cervical mucus method (with guidance/training)
– Very regular: several options possible, simpler methods often work better in everyday life
– Irregular/changing sleep times: Methods that work with more data/support are often more practical (instead of just “calendar logic”)
– I want to understand and evaluate everything myself: classic NFP rules + my own charts
– I want support with measurement/evaluation: digital evaluation can be a relief (important: still understand the method + rules)
If the risk of application errors causes you a lot of stress, a method that…
– gives you clear decision-making logic,
– takes disruptive factors into account,
– and does not “fail due to minor issues” in everyday life (sleep, shift work, measurement time) is useful.
NFP relies on good data and accurate analysis. This is exactly where support can be useful: instead of having to stick to a specific measurement time, thermometer, and protocol every morning, continuous temperature measurement can make your everyday life much more relaxed.
If you want to use NFP without hormones, but at the same time value comfort and routine reliability, the following page is the next step:

Note: OvulaRing is designed to support NFP / assessment of the likelihood of conception. During fertile days, individual measures such as condoms are still relevant.

Is your cycle extremely short, extremely long, or even very irregular? OvulaRing actually tracks your personal cycle, regardless of your cycle type. The OvulaRing method works for different types of cycles. This has also been confirmed in three medical studies for a wide variety of cycle types.
The classic method of measuring basal body temperature only takes a reading once a day instead of continuously. However, to identify your personal cycle even more accurately, OvulaRing measures 288 times a day. This provides much more information to accurately determine your fertile days. OvulaRing recognizes your very own cycle pattern and provides you with precise results.
OvulaRing is just as easy to use and less noticeable than a tampon. When you wear the ring inside your body, you can do everything as usual. For example, you can go to the gym or the sauna. You can continue to have sex and enjoy your life. The automatic measurement inside your body provides accurate results anyway. It doesn’t matter how you live your life when it comes to the measurement.
OvulaRing can tell you for sure whether you are ovulating. You can also see whether your cycles are healthy. The app first learns your unique cycle patterns. Once your cycle patterns have been recognized, your fertility is displayed on a daily basis. How OvulaRing works.
OvulaRing was developed by renowned gynecologists at Leipzig University Hospital. The method is therefore based on 40 years of experience and scientific research. OvulaRing is also a patented and approved medical device. Furthermore, the accuracy of our cycle tracker has been proven in several medical studies.
On the one hand, OvulaRing works entirely without hormones. On the other hand, the ring is free of plasticizers and has no hormonal side effects. In addition, OvulaRing is very comfortable to wear and as easy to use as a tampon. The excellent compatibility of the material has been confirmed in several medical studies.
NFP can work well in everyday life if you learn the method correctly, apply it consistently, and take disruptive factors into account. The decisive factor is not so much “the method” as the quality of your application.
Many people need a few cycles before patterns become clearly recognizable. Especially at the beginning, it helps not to “interpret freely” the rules and evaluation, but to learn step by step.
Typical disruptive factors include poor sleep, illness/fever, alcohol, stress, travel, or unusual sleeping times. It is important to note such factors so that you can interpret the values correctly.
Basically, yes—but the choice of method and discipline in observation are particularly important. Pure calendar logic is usually less suitable here.
Yes, but during transition phases, the cycle is often “in flux.” This makes careful observation and, if necessary, additional support/guidance all the more important.
If you want to avoid pregnancy, you need to make a clear decision on days when you are more likely to conceive (e.g., abstinence or barrier method) – depending on your rules and your method.

I had previously measured my basal body temperature and tried LH tests. Both required a lot of discipline. I found that rather unsuitable with my irregular cycles. It was emotionally and time-consuming for me. With OvulaRing, I was able to get an accurate picture of my cycle without any effort. Together with my gynecologist, I was able to see for the first time that I was ovulating at all! Within 3 cycles, I was pregnant with our little Neo."
"I was looking for a way to get to know my cycle without restricting my everyday life. With OvulaRing, for example, I was much more relaxed than with other methods. What's more, I didn't have to restrict myself in any way. OvulaRing showed me that, despite PCOS and irregular cycles, I do ovulate! So I got pregnant on cycle day 28 in my third cycle of use."
"And it actually worked right away! Shortly afterwards, I found out that I was pregnant. I could hardly believe it and was extremely happy that it had worked naturally thanks to Corona and OvulaRing. This gave me back my confidence in my body! We are now expecting our second child. OvulaRing supported us again by showing me my fertile days. I was already pregnant in the second cycle."
Franziska's testimonial
"During this nerve-wracking time of trying to conceive, OvulaRing gave me back my peace of mind, relaxation, and control! I was actually told that I wasn't ovulating. Thanks to the ring, I was able to see for myself that I was indeed ovulating! And now I know exactly when. After several unsuccessful attempts at artificial insemination, I am now the mother of two wonderful daughters, despite having PCOS and thanks to OvulaRing."
Nicole's testimonial
"I had to cry with relief! It took three cycles, and we understood how my cycle works and when the chances of ovulation are highest. No more annoying alarm clocks, no more confusing self-drawn charts. But the best and most incredible thing is:
I'm pregnant. The sight of those two lines. Unbelievable!"
Alexandra's testimonial
“I started using OvulaRing because normal ovulation tests weren't accurate enough for me. I was immediately impressed! How convenient can cycle tracking be? So easy, practical, and reliable! Two cycles later, I finally had a positive pregnancy test in my hand! OvulaRing gave us our second miracle, and I am eternally grateful for that!”
“Despite having PCOS, I got pregnant in my third cycle! We were overjoyed and couldn't believe it! Finally pregnant! Now, thanks to OvulaRing, I am 15 weeks pregnant and we are all doing very well. I would recommend OvulaRing to anyone who wants to get pregnant and has PCOS!”
“I was immediately impressed by OvulaRing. It eliminated the pressure of constantly measuring my temperature. And I no longer had to worry that the results would be distorted by poor or insufficient sleep. In other words, I regained my quality of life. I also particularly appreciated the personalized advice. I became pregnant in the very first cycle, even though I ovulated on day 32!”

* The daily probability of conception is usually calculated from the second cycle onwards. This is because OvulaRing first learns your individual fertility patterns during the first cycle.
** Ovulation is usually predicted for the fourth cycle, provided that ovulation could be automatically detected in the first three cycles. At least three cycles with ovulation are required for a reliable calculation. If the ovulation days in consecutive cycles vary by more than 8 days, no reliable prediction can be made. However, this does not affect the calculation of the daily probability of conception. That is why OvulaRing can make accurate predictions even with irregular cycles.
