The Natural Cycles app is FDA-cleared and achieves 93–98% contraceptive effectiveness with no hormones, creams, or medications. The copper IUD achieves 99% effectiveness without hormones and has fewer side effects than the pill, though it carries its own complications. For women whose primary goal is contraception, non-hormonal or lower-intervention methods offer comparable or superior effectiveness with dramatically reduced systemic burden. The hormonal IUD has fewer systemic side effects than the pill.
