Product Description
Want an effective, natural, and fun way to predict ovulation - your most fertile time of the month? Try an innovative new method called Cycle Beads - an attractive string of beads that represent the days in your menstrual cycle. Each color-coded bead stands for a single day in your monthly cycle, and the color of a particular Cycle Bead on a particular day indicates whether you are fertile or not. It's that easy - and a highly effective form of fertility awareness!How do Cycle Beads Work?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!

We purchased the beads to prevent pregnancy, and I'm not pregnant so I guess that means they work.

This product is a total waste--I found out the hard way.

Last April, my doctor suggested that I be taken off my daily birth control pill because of a family history of blood clotting. I had been on the pill for about five years without incident, but I took his advice. After looking for a new method of birth control, I found that an IUD would be the best option for me. I had it implanted (a painful experience), but because I've never had children and, thus, have a small uterus, the IUD came out (an even more painful experience).

This was all becoming quite an ordeal. So when someone told me about these cycle beads, I thought that they would be a good, natural alternative to birth control. I did the research, and once I received them I spend the first month still having protected sex with my partner so that I could make sure that I was comfortable using them. Also, I wanted to be sure that my cycle fell within the 26-32 day time period. When everything worked out that first month, I went ahead and began relying solely on them. Still, I had no unprotected sex between days 8 and 19. Now here I am one month later... pregnant.

The cycle beads website ([...]) claims that they are 95% effective. They website claims, "That means that, out of 100 women using the method for 1 year, fewer than 5 of them would get pregnant if they used the method correctly." I find that incredibly hard to believe. I used them as directed and was still pregnant within a month.

Take my advice: USE OTHER METHODS IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO HAVE A CHILD

It is my own fault. Nothing with the product, but now using this, I have a tracking worksheet that does the same thing. So as long as you remember daily to update your worksheet, you can use that instead of buying this - an Excel spreadsheet is free. I was a little surprised with how large it is as well. I wouldn't buy this again only because I didn't think it through before I bought it, but another consumer might like it.

These beads are a wonderful way to keep track of your cycle without having to count all of the days on the calendar.

The beads are very easy to use. The instructions are clear and concise. However, you need to make sure that your cycles are within an certain time frame, as explained in the instruction booklet, and on their website, or you will not be able to use them.
