Cycle Beads for Fertility Awareness & Ovulation Prediction

Cycle Beads represent your menstrual cycle and function as a tactile ovulation calendar. Each bead stands for a single day. On the first day of your period, you simply place the rubber ring on the red bead (representing cycle day 1). On each following day, simply move the rubber ring ahead by one bead (an arrow reminds you which direction). As you move through your cycle days, when the ring is on a dark or red bead, fertility is low and your odds of conceiving are less. However, once the ring moves to a white bead - typically cycle day 8 through 19 - you know that you are nearing ovulation or perhaps already ovulating. While the ring is on a white cycle bead, you are at peak fertility and your chances of becoming pregnant are high.

Cycle Beads offer an easy method to increase your odds of conceiving (as well as provide a natural, safe method of family planning). Proven effective, Cycle Beads provide an unambiguous visual method for tracking your cycle and identifying the fertile days when conceiving is likely (as well as the infertile days when achieving pregnancy is less probable). Moreover, Cycle Beads are based on a natural family planning practice that has been shown to be over 95% effective.

Cycle Beads are a fertility innovation that is both affordable and effective - and they can be used to plan (or naturally postpone) pregnancy. Cycle Beads were created by the Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University, Cycle Beads are based on an ovulation prediction method that is 95% effective in fertility awareness & family planning.

Please note that Cycle Beads can be used to achieve or postpone pregnancy. They work best for women with regular menstrual cycles between 26 and 32 days long. If your cycles are longer or shorter, we do suggest a different method of fertility charting or family planning. Other methods of pinpointing ovulation include using a fertility monitor, ovulation testing, or bbt charting with a basal thermometer.
