However, it must be noted that Natural Cycles was investigated by the Swedish government after 36 women in Sweden were reported to have become pregnant even though they were monitoring their cycles with the Natural Cycles app. Although a Swedish regulator closed its investigation and did rule that they found "no major issues" with the app compared to other menstrual tracking methods, users should be aware that no method of contraception, including Natural Cycles, is 100% effective.
