Avoiding pregnancy without birth control?

Question

Hey everyone!

So I've been taking the pill for 7 years now, and I came to realise it was just not working for my body (put on weight, cellulite, mood, etc). I recently decided to stop it, and go natural because I don't want to stop the pill if it's to start something else like implant etc. 
Thing is, I've been with my boyfriend for a while now, and I don't really want to have to use condoms again.. 
So I wanted to ask you if it was safe enough or completely dumb and naive to be relying only on the Glow fertile days predictions in order to avoid getting pregnant ? Cause we've been avoiding those "green days", but have unprotected sexe on the other "safe" days. 
I'm just freaked about getting pregnant, but I'm really sick of all the unnatural and chemical birth control options. Do any of you have natural control solutions? Thank you so much! :)

Answer

The app is always accurate for me, but that's definitely not the case for everyone else. Plus I know and have pin pointed the physical signs of my ovulation from when I was trying to get pregnant (it worked lol). 
But, why don't you try the non-hormonal iud since you don't react well to the other birth control? Since there's no hormones it has significantly less side effects. I know I would just be way too scared to not use any protection at all and only rely on what an app tells me. But you do you.

Answer

This app is only an estimate. You won't know when you're actually ovulating unless you track it with ovulation tests.

Answer

Glow has never been spot on when it comes to my fertile days. I won't rely on it once I have my baby.

Answer

I've been using condoms since I gave birth to my daughter in 2007. I had one scare and took plan b. This app have been helpful because sometimes we don't use condoms. Use extra precaution when you're ouvulating

Answer

I was without birth control for 8 years and got pregnant and prevented pregnancy with no issues. However you cannot just depend on an app showing you your fertile days AND you must accept that it's always possible to conceive. I tracked my cervical position and CM in conjunction with my cycle. It's a lot of work and I'm the beginning its extra tough because it takes a few months to figure out your body's "normal" cm and cervical position. Everyone is not the same. Once you understand your normals, then it gets easier to pinpoint ovulation and prevent and plan your children. I'd highly recommend condoms, at least for 6 months of tracking your own body's I you feel confident in how it acts and reacts during fertility

Answer

I think you are playing with fire. Don't solely rely on an app.

I don't have any natural birth control methods for you. My husband and I used condoms up until we tried for our first baby. He did that so I wouldn't have to deal with birth control.

Now that our little one is here, I just started using the Mirena IUD.

Good luck to you.

Answer

Any time you don't use precautions you can get pregnant
