Statement of The Limitations of The Use Of MyFertilityCycle for Avoiding Pregnancy

Because the MyFertilityCycle charting system is relatively new, there are no use effectiveness studies to provide data on the effectiveness of this method when used for the purpose of avoiding pregnancy. Therefore, there are no use effectiveness claims that can be made at this time.

In addition to the above, while we believe that the MyFertilityCycle system is accurate, there is no way to guarantee that MyFertilityCycle will accurately interpret you fertility every time. In short, there is no family planning method, including MyFertilityCycle, of interpreting a woman's fertile and infertile days, that is 100% accurate all the time.

When a couple uses a system of fertility interpretation for avoiding pregnancy through the use of periodic abstinence on infertile days, the effectiveness of the method is no greater that the degree to which the couple was able to adhere to the instructions. The closer a couple is to perfectly following instructions, the more effective the method will be. If a couple decides to have intercourse or genital contact on a day that is considered fertile, then they are effectively abandoning the method as a means of avoiding pregnancy and adopting the method as a means of achieving pregnancy.

The MyFertilityCycle system is an internet tool. As an Internet tool, you are free to use the information you get from MyFertilityCycle in any way that you want. We do not advise couples on how they should or should not use this information.

Ultimately, the act of intercourse by its very nature is designed to be procreative. The most effective means of avoiding pregnancy and the one that we advise for all unmarried couples is complete abstinence from intercourse and genital contact.
