Logging your daily data is the best way to get the most out of your Natural Cycles experience. No matter which mode you use, adding regular logs helps the NC° algorithm get to know your unique cycle, adjust to new data, and gives you personalized insights about your body.
How to Add & Edit Your Daily Data
All data is added and managed directly from the Add Data page.
- The Temperature Check-In: Each morning when you open the app, you will see a prompt on your Today page letting you know your data has synced. Tap this prompt to open the Temperature Check-In, where you can easily view your reading or log any exclusion reasons.
- The Evening Check-In: Look out for an evening prompt to log your daily symptoms, mood, and lifestyle trackers. This data doesn't just build a fuller picture of your cycle—it directly powers our signal algorithms and trend patterns. Tracking consistently allows the app to extract deeper, highly personalized insights tailored to your unique body.
- Opening the Full Page: To access all lifestyle and symptom trackers, simply tap the plus (+) icon in the navigation bar at the bottom of your screen.
- How to select trackers: Tap directly on any category (like Bleeding or Mood) to select it.
- Don't forget to save: When you are finished tracking your day, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap the Save button.
💡 Missed a day? You can easily add or edit data for past days! Simply select a previous date on your Calendar and tap Edit to update your logs.
What Data Can I Log?
Your trackers are split into two categories: Algorithm Data (which influence your fertility status) and Personal Trackers (which help you notice personal wellness trends but do not affect your Green or Red days).
1. Algorithm Data
The NC° algorithm takes these trackers into account to identify your fertility status:
- Temperature: The most critical data point the algorithm uses to identify your fertility status
- Period: Period logs mark the official start of a new cycle. Log Period for every consecutive day you experience true bleeding, and Spotting for very light, intermittent drops.
- Ovulation (LH) Tests (optional): Record whether your ovulation test came back positive or negative.
- Emergency Contraception & Tests: Log emergency contraceptive pills (the morning-after pill) or pregnancy test results.
2. Personal Lifestyle & Symptom Trackers
These trackers are completely optional and are designed to help you gain a deeper understanding of your body. They do not affect your daily fertility status:
- Cervical Mucus
- Sex Drive & Intimacy
- Skin
- Pain & Symptoms
- Sleep & Lifestyle
- Mood
- Notes
Each mode unlocks trackers tailored to that stage or experience. For example, in NC° Follow Pregnancy, you can track contractions, baby movements, and sensitivity to smells. In NC° Perimenopause, you can track symptoms such as hot flashes, heart palpitations, and night sweats.
💡Can’t find a tracker? You can easily add custom trackers to log your unique symptoms! Simply find the relevant category and tap “Create new” to build your personalized tracker.
3. Sleep Insights (NC° Band and Oura Ring only)
If you are an NC° Band or Oura Ring user, you have access to Sleep Insights. The feature connects sleep and cycle insights in one place, helping you better understand how hormonal changes throughout the menstrual cycle may influence sleep, recovery, and overall well-being. Each morning, a quick check-in prompt invites you to log how you slept, check your temperature, and view your Sleep Data for deeper insights into your night. Because a night that looks fine on paper can still leave you drained, knowing these patterns helps you feel more in control of your daily energy.
Note: If you use the NC° Band or an Oura Ring on any mode other than NC° Birth Control or NC° Plan Pregnancy, while you will be able to view your Sleep Data in the app, the automated daily check-ins and personalized Sleep Insights features will not be available.
Can’t see this the Morning Check-In in your app? If you are an eligible user and the Morning Check-Inisn't showing up, you can easily activate it yourself: Go to the Add Data page → Tap the Settings icon → Toggle on "Sleep”
How to Adjust the Tracker Settings
You can activate, deactivate, and customize your visible trackers at any time directly from your Add Data page by tapping the tracker settings icon. In this menu, you can also choose exactly which trackers appear in your Daily Check-in.
Logging Data During Pregnancy (NC° Follow Pregnancy)
If you are using NC° Follow Pregnancy mode, your logging experience changes slightly to better match your pregnancy journey:
- You don’t need to continue logging your temperatures during your pregnancy – this is optional, and you can decide whether you would like to keep track of your temperatures or not.
-
Even without temperature logs, we highly recommend continuing to track symptoms like moods, pains, sleep quality, skin health, and vaginal discharge. This will allow you to track the changes that happen in your body as the pregnancy progresses.
