Fertility awareness (Rhythm)

I got pregnant in the second month of using Daysy + condom, talked to them about how they are keeping track of users and they told me they rely only on the first study and they do not keep track with actual users

I started taking the pill recently because I’ve never been pregnant and don’t know if I’ll ever be, which means I’m at higher risk for ovarian cancer because my ovaries have never stopped ovulating. Fortunately no side effects yet.
Stopping ovulation for a couple years in your lifetime, either from pregnancies or birth control, helps prevent ovarian cancer because it gives your ovaries a break

Does anyone know how to connect the daysy app with the device through Bluetooth? (I think I’m following the instructions but it doesn’t seem to work ��) besides I love the product..����

Great Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched Tarbbatigan Complete Unit Tip (google it)? It is a good one off product for learning how to get pregnant naturally minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cooworker after many years got great success with it.

Did you get the Daysy Fertility Tracker or the Daysy & “Birth Control Protocol” one? There’s a price difference but I’m not sure how else they differ. Thank you in advance!

I have been using the daysy for the last 2 years and wouldn’t be without it now ���� so happy to not have to put any hormones/chemicals in my body ��

I really enjoyed this video! I’m pretty good with remembering when mine is thanks to the Clue App and I am pretty sure I have a hormone imbalance or something because sometimes I experience being unable to function on a normal level. It effects me quite a lot.

This was so so helpful! I’ve always wanted to learn about this as I’m discovering various methods of birth control that work best for me. You explained it all so well.

Thanks Meghan, i just downloaded Clue, thank you so much for the information, i didn’t know about Clue but because of you i already have! You are wonderful and keep making more informative videos! Much love from me! And i like your channel! ����❤️

Sorry Meghan, I like you very much but I have to give a thumbs down this time. It is VERY IRRESPONSIBLE from you to promote natural birth control. Women can get pregnant at ANY TIME of the cycle. So many women got pregnant using these three methods!
To all the women: if you don’t take a REAL birth control method, ALWAYS USE A CONDOM. If you don’t want to take hormones, use a copper IUD. Anyway a woman birth control AND a condom is the safest.

Thank you for sharing this �� I think it is so important for women to know about this and understand their health! While I may disagree with the use of barrier methods, I am very happy you made this video to educate women on healthy ways to take care of their fertility ��

what if you have an interrupted sleep cycle, for example, I might wake up and go back to sleep a few times in the morning before I get up

First off, you curly hair is absolutely beautiful! And suits you so well! ��
Second, this video is so helpful! This topic has been on my mind for a while now, and you made it so informative while still simple and easy to understand.

I have downloaded and uninstalled so many cycle tracking apps. I downloaded clue as soon as you mentioned it. It’s the best one yet!

Hi!!! Excellent video, exactly wat I needed, I cant wait to stop using the contraceptive injection, have had a really bad experience with it.
I’d love to start using Daysy, but I have a question, hopefully someone could help me:)
I work as a baker 4 days a weeks, what means that I don’t have an exactly hour of waking up every day, sometimes it could be a 2 am, 7 am or 9 am. Will Daysy work for me? I really want to know before investing that amount of money on it.
Thank you.

… I apparently suck at natural birth control…. I’m pregnant �� in about a year or so I can start trying again at tracking better (3 months till baby is born, then about a year or so till I start getting periods again)

Hi Meghan Thank you for this informative video. i’ve been thinking about going the natural birth control route. Right now Iam using the IUD method been using this birth control for about 8 years its been working great. But I don’t want to rely on it forever.

Great vid! Especially the part where you differentiate between the Rhythm method in this method! That was great news to me. I’m interested in learning this method. I hope you have many more videos that explain in detail how to do it. As you were guided I hope you as well can guide us

Thank you for such a great review on the fertility awareness method! I’m using it to help achieve pregnancy, but I love that it can be used to prevent pregnancy or to better understand your body.

I learnt more in this video that I did at school, thanks for this! Never thought talking about ‘the period’ could be so interesting:D

Its also good for your health to be aware of your cycle so you know whats normal and whats not.
TMI but ive had sex regularly with guys finishing inside me for five years. Still not pregnant. Just stating my experience with fertility awareness. I ask my partners to get tested and strictly never use condoms. I just dont have sex anywhere near my fertile window (which is nice, i actually enjoy holding off and the anticipation) and as a side bonus my period never sneaks up on me. Its amazing. It can be an empowering and connecting experience both with yourself and your partner.

It is only as effective as you are motivated to make it effective (by getting educated and sticking to the guidelines/rules).
I have been using the sympto thermal method for about a year. It’s a bit of learning to begin with but once you are educated and understand the rules it’s not hard at all. Like riding a bike, I don’t have to think about it anymore. You don’t have to have regular cycles, that’s why there are rules, to help you determine when things change or you can’t get accurate temperature etc. We have come a long way since the calendar method. (Unfortunately that is what those period tracker apps are)
The more I learn about my anatomy, biology, hormones and how they work, the more I trust this form of birth control.

I have a Daisy too! Btw I am in love with your hair!! Keep it this way!
The only challenge with Daisy is to remember measuring every morning before you get out of the bed. Sometimes i get out of the bed and then I remember and that moment is like “OH NOO”
I also have 1 question. Do we need to measure our temperature at the same time every morning to be accurate?

I just started using the daysy my female gyno recommended me to get off hormonal birth control because I was having problems. Then a male doctor I had to see told me I was ASKING to get pregnant and I need hormonal birth control right away. I am committed to the daysy and have never felt better even after just two weeks of using it

I need help reading my chart to determine my fertility window! Where can I learn that?? (No I don’t want a an instructor) just want someone to show me how to read the pattern:(

Thank you sooo much for making these videos!!! I’m not sure how I came across the original video but have been struggling with the thought of getting an IUD. I have done lots of healing and detoxing and DO NOT want to take any hormones. I have also had lots of trauma in regards to my lady parts and the IUD just sounds like more of a traumatic experience. Been completely stressed out thinking about the appointment and tried to get it today and didn’t work out and almost fainted. Having been so stressed, came home to do more research and found your video. I feel like a huge stress has been lifted off my shoulders now. Currently in the phase of discussion about the Daysey, with my partner. Hoping it’s a good fit fir us!!! THANK YOU!!

thank you so much for highlighting fertility awareness! for anyone who is curious about the science behind the fertility awareness method, the book “Taking Charge of Your Fertility” is essential reading in my opinion. it teaches you the exact science of how and why basal temperature and mucous charting are effective. i personally track using the Natural Cycles app, which in at least the US (and a few European countries as well) has been approved by the Federal Drug Administration as an effective form of birth control. they have developed a very conservative algorithm to determine your “safe” days, although personally i still recommend learning the science of it by reading the book i mentioned. i bought a basal thermometer for $6 dollars and paid about $80 for a year-long subscription to the Natural Cycles app. i’ve been using it for a year and a half and i absolutely love it. in the end i think it has been cheaper than when i was paying for the birth control pill, and i feel SO much more in tune with my body!

(regarding using daysy with a fever) “if you have a high temperature and you’re feelin’ sick, whyyy-are you having sex anyway? Right?” The way you deliver that line LOL! You’re so cute <3 Thank you for these videos!

Thankyou, this is really informative and you’re husband at the end was cool and the giant dog �� ��, y’all a beautiful supportive couple, he cares about you’re health awesome husband ❤️❤️❤️❤️

For the money that you spend, it is less than average..
1. Poor quality materials and bad design.
The cap broke within 3 months of using daysy. And that is because the plastic is very bad quality and the cap should be just round, not oval, so you could put it on without looking at it. It’s not rocket science…. Of course it’ll break when people are putting it back on with their eyes closed.
2. The app.
It is horrible. Truly, the worst app on my phone. It’s disconnecting and crashing all the time and again poorly made/designed. Terrible update now, where you can’t edit your period.. So if you make a mistake on your daysy or not sure (as soon as you open your eyes in the morning) whether you’re menstruating today or you’re finished you’re screwed basically.
3. Accuracy.
It is not very accurate and I’m wondering if taking the temperature actually means anything as my simple free period app is more accurate at predicting my period than this EXPENSIVE thermometer even after using it for 5 months.
4. Money.
It is soooo soo expensive… For the price and this precise thermometer they could’ve added a screen on the daysy and a feature to take your temperature that wouldn’t log into the algorithm. You know, when you’re sick for example?? It’d be great to have such a precise thermometer at hand. This just seems such a waste only using it for your period.
All in all, I do not trust daysy 100% and would not purchase it again. I would wait for more studies and a more developed company.

Does this method work well for women with irregular cycles?? Like really irregular, I only have my period about 5× a year. I have pcos but I want to try this method really bad, I just removed my iud cause I gained 15 lbs and got infections too and started losing my hair and what not. I was on the pill before the iud and had bad side effects with that as well and just couldn’t take it anymore.

As a pharmacy technician, I would highly recommend the Daysy to a lot of women out there because a lot of girls I’m friends with use this. And they can relate to me because I take PreP (an HIV preventative drug) so they’re trying to prevent pregnancy while I’m trying to avoid sexually transmitted diseases lol. The way I can relate to them is that we BOTH are trying to prevent something from happening. I don’t wanna get HIV and they don’t wanna get pregnant! But a lot of women’s bodies are different. Like, they’re fine with Loestrin, Blisove Fe, Nuvaring, whatever birth control they’re using. And that all depends on how their bodies work and what other drugs/alcohol they are putting INTO their bodies that could interfere with that. A lot of women don’t think about that and sometimes the pill fails because another medication interfered with it. So please talk to your doctor if you have any questions because first time birth control users NEED TO KNOW the side effects birth control can have on their bodies. Headaches, nausea, cramps, etc. are all side effects. The good thing though is that it regulates your menstrual cycle so you won’t have irregular periods (or shouldn’t at least). So basically, try the Daysy and if you don’t like it, see what method works best for you!

I would love to try daysy but it is 410canadian dollars which is insane for me right now. I’m using a basal thermometer and charting on Kindara and Lillypro along with my cervical fluid. I can’t use any type of hormonal birth control as it makes my anxiety and depression skyrocket and the copper iud was also giving me weird side effects. It was time for my husband to also take some of the responsibility of birth control and we now use condoms on fertile days and withdrawal on non fertile days. We will for sure invest on a daysy soon. They should offer payment plans.

I’ve always had such a hard time with hormonal birth control. I’m currently on the ring, however I have charted my cycles with an app before. I think my biggest fear was accidentally getting pregnant at any given time. I’m already a mother of two and they were planned, because of the charting, and knowing when I was most fertile. But I still have it in my mind that even on those nonfertile days I will still get pregnant. Everybody’s solution is always “Have a Tubal” but I feel that’s such a permanent change to my body. I’m willing to learn a little more through this channel. Maybe put my fears at ease and stop taking birth control. Thanks for the info. Can’t wait to hear more.

This may be a dumb question, but does the amount of heat around you (like blankets and the temperature of the room) effect the temperature? Or is this a situation in which I’d just have to wait for the Daysy to get accustom to my body?

Absolutely amazing video. So full of information. Thank you. I wonder in your professional capacity could you do a video on pcos how to relieve symptoms and a pcos diet for fertility. Thanks again ����

What do you do in the case of flu when your temperature rises? Does Daysy adjust it somehow or do you have to do something on the app? X

This is NOT a safe method! You can get pregnant every day of your cycle and making a video saying its safe is completly wrong! 20 out of 100 women get pregnant with this! Please dont promote such rubbish methods to young women! Why not promote a diaphragma which is 97 to 100 safe and doesnt need hormones!

Good to know this works for irregular cycles too! This is for sure something I want to learn more about. I used the pill for many years which worked great but I didn’t like the idea of taking hormones for that long, I have had an iud for about a year and a half and hate it so much so looking for other options. I’m curious if there are ways to become more regular in your cycle or if this method just helps to know the signs of when things happen?

Anyone have occasional insomnia and have success with this? I occasionally will go 3-4 nights maybe every 1-2 months with trouble sleeping and not sure I would get those consistent three hours before taking. Thanks!

I love how informational this video is & the fact that you stressed on doing your own research if others wanted to use a cheaper alternative to Daysy instead. And it was great how we were able to hear you husband’s thoughts on it. TY! It shows how much you care about your viewers:)

This is by far the best method. All the other methods cause bad side effects and mood swings not to mention long term effects. Thanks for making this a non-sponsored video!!! Really appreciate your honesty!

Sadly…..Ive been on birth control pills for years and i know how bad they are i really do, they’ve worked perfect for me, hubby and i have 2 beautiful planed kids and we dont plan on anymore at al unless its an accident! then Yes of course!..but i am very afraid to try this Daysy i know its the best for my body, thankfully i dont feel any of the side effects of the pill and my period is normal its never affected in any way, I am trying to get all the info i need so that i can start this method, im very nervous and excited all at the same time thanks for this great video!!

I use natural cycles app and it’s very similar. I use it along with a diaphragm on red days as we don’t like condoms. I’ve used it for 4 months so far!

I thank you for this info. I can see that your passionate about it. Your clearing a lot of doubts regarding some misconceptions of Fam.

I am a naturopathic doctor and recommend FAM to many women. This is a great introductory video for them, and most specifically the MEN in their life who are not convinced 😉

I’ve never been sexually active, and recently i met someone who’s i think could work for me, and i was scared my whole life of the common birth control methods and it’s side effects, now i think i can be rest assured in the future, you explained it so well elie thanks ��

I love this, I am only a teenager, but I am really passionate about this and I am learning to chart since it is not only birth control, but it also tells you about your health, and if something might be wrong. I am sooo thankful that there as such a thing as FABMS!!❤��

Hi Elle, thanks for the video! very informative. I have been reading a lot about the daysy and watching lots of youtube videos. I ordered mine two days ago, I am coming off hormonal birth control (bad side effects) when I start using daysy basically I don’t enter my first period? I just keep measuring in the morning as normal but don’t enter my first bleed after coming off birth control? I enter my second period then?

Hi Megan! How long do you think it will take for someone new to learn how to practice FAM properly and get the maximum efficacy rate possible? Currently I’m on the pill and I hate it. FAM sounds like a great alternative, but I’m also super scared of messing up.
Also, is there somewhere I could read more information on its reliability?
Thank you!:)

Question, what if he ejaculated in you on a green day and 1 day later its a red day? Sperm stays alive for 72 hours so that can lead to pregnancy? Just wondering how that works.

Editedi just heard the part where you mentioned it lol. So it would continue to be red. Ok coollll. I have anxiety so this is what im leaning towards o dont want hormonal birth control.

Megan!!! Okay so normally, im HelloKatii Bishop. Im on my husbands phone right now. Mine is dead, 10 feet away but its fine lol. Okay so, I was late in the game learning about FAM. Like you, i didn’t want to put all these hormones and products into my body. I just didnt trust it! Im a mom of four, and I’m all done having babies, but all my friends have horror stories about just about every different birth control method out there. I never heard about FAM until you posted your announcement to begin this channel… The DAY after i threw in the towel and had my tubes tied. Lol. So anyway, there is a point to this. I know you keep track of your cycles with the symptothermal method and can track fertility, but are there other health benefits that can come from keeping track of cycles? And if so, can my situation specifically still rely on it to understand my overall health?
