Cancel Natural Cycles: The Right Way

How to cancel Natural Cycles and stop unexpected renewal charges

What Natural Cycles is and why you might want to cancel

Natural Cycles is a fertility and cycle-tracking app that uses your daily temperature readings and menstrual data to identify your fertile and non-fertile windows. The service markets itself as a hormone-free birth control alternative, but also offers modes for pregnancy planning and perimenopause tracking. You pay for access through a subscription model, with both monthly and annual options available.

The reality many users face is straightforward: the subscription renews automatically on your anniversary date, and charges hit your card unless you cancel beforehand. If you've decided Natural Cycles no longer fits your needs-whether because of cost, accuracy concerns, or a shift in your reproductive health priorities-you have every right to stop paying. At Tocancel, we help consumers like you understand exactly how to cancel with confidence and protect yourself from unwanted charges.

Why users cancel Natural Cycles

You might be canceling because the app's predictions did not match your cycle, the monthly cost of $21.99 or annual cost of $149.99 no longer fits your budget, or you've switched to a different fertility tracking method. Some users cite frustration with customer service response times or concerns about how their reproductive health data is handled. Others simply discover their reproductive health priorities have changed. Whatever your reason, you deserve a cancellation process that is clear and actually works.

The automatic renewal trap

Here is where the problem begins for most Natural Cycles customers: your subscription restarts automatically on your renewal anniversary unless you formally cancel it first. Account inactivity does not stop charges. If you last used the app six months ago and forgot to cancel, a charge of $149.99 or $21.99 will post to your card on your renewal date. This is the trap that catches thousands of users annually. The solution is simple once you know it: cancel before your renewal date, not after.

Natural Cycles subscription plans and pricing

Before you cancel, confirm which plan you are currently on by logging into your account and checking your billing section.

The key action you need to take right now is to log into your Natural Cycles account and find your exact renewal date. This single fact transforms you from reactive (canceling after being charged) to proactive (canceling before the charge hits). Write down this date and keep it visible. Most billing disputes happen because customers did not know or did not track their renewal date.

How to cancel Natural Cycles step-by-step

The cancellation process depends on whether you subscribed directly through Natural Cycles or through a third-party platform like Apple or Google Play.

Cancel via the Natural Cycles website

If you created your account directly at naturalcycles.com and pay by credit card, follow these steps to cancel your subscription.

1. Open a web browser and go to naturalcycles.com
   • Enter your email and password to log into your account
   • If you forget your password, click the "Forgot password?" link and check your email for a reset link
2. Click on your profile icon (top right corner) or navigate to Settings
   • On mobile web, look for the menu icon (three horizontal lines)
   • On desktop, your profile icon appears in the top navigation
3. Select Manage Account or Billing
   • You should see your current subscription plan and renewal date
   • Note: Some accounts show "Subscription" in the main menu
4. Click Cancel current subscription or Plan
   • The button text may vary slightly depending on your account type
   • If you see "Manage Plan" instead, click that and then look for the cancel option
5. Review the cancellation confirmation message
   • Natural Cycles may offer a discount to keep you as a customer
   • You are not obligated to accept this offer
   • Proceed with cancellation if you are certain about your decision
6. Confirm cancellation by clicking the final button
   • You should receive a confirmation email within minutes
   • Save or screenshot this email as proof of cancellation

Cancel via the Natural Cycles mobile app

If you use the Natural Cycles app on iOS or Android, you can cancel directly within the app.

1. Open the Natural Cycles app on your phone
   • Make sure you are logged in with your account
2. Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner
   • On some versions, this appears as your profile icon instead
3. Tap Settings or Account
   • Scroll down to find "Billing," "Subscription," or "Manage Plan"
4. Tap Cancel subscription or Plan details
   • You will see your current plan and renewal date
5. Follow the prompts to confirm cancellation
   • Check your email for a confirmation message
   • Keep this email until you verify no charge appears on your next billing date

Cancel an apple app store or google play subscription

If you subscribed to Natural Cycles through Apple's App Store or Google Play, you must cancel through that platform, not the app itself.

1. For Apple (iOS)
   • On your iPhone or iPad, open Settings
   • Tap Apple ID (at the top)
   • Tap Subscriptions
   • Find Natural Cycles in the list
   • Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm
2. For Google Play (Android)
   • Open the Google Play Store app
   • Tap your profile icon (top right)
   • Tap Payments and subscriptions
   • Tap Subscriptions
   • Select Natural Cycles
   • Tap Cancel subscription and confirm

The critical step here is to verify your cancellation immediately after completing it. Check your email for a confirmation message from either Natural Cycles, Apple, or Google-whichever platform you used. Keep this email until you see that no charge appears on your next billing date. This is your proof if a dispute arises later.

Your consumer rights and federal protections

You have specific legal rights when canceling a subscription service in the United States.

What the federal trade commission (FTC) negative option rule protects you

The FTC Negative Option Rule is a federal regulation that governs how companies can charge you for automatic renewals. Under this rule, Natural Cycles must:

• Obtain your clear, affirmative consent (explicit agreement) before charging you for an automatic renewal
• Provide you with a straightforward mechanism to cancel-meaning the cancellation method must be as easy as signing up
• Send you a reminder before each renewal (at least three days in advance, though Natural Cycles may send this further ahead)
• Honor your cancellation request immediately and confirm it in writing

In plain language, this means Natural Cycles cannot make cancellation deliberately difficult or require you to call a customer service number as your only option. If the company makes cancellation intentionally harder than enrollment, they are violating federal law. Your legal position is clear: you have the right to cancel easily, and the company must respect that right.

What to do if Natural Cycles refuses to cancel

If you follow the steps above and Natural Cycles does not honor your cancellation request within a reasonable time, or if you discover a charge on your card after you canceled, you have escalation options.

• Contact your credit card issuer. Call the customer service number on the back of your card and dispute the charge as unauthorized. Provide them with proof of your cancellation (the confirmation email from Natural Cycles).
• File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. You can submit a report at reportfraud.ftc.gov. Include your cancellation confirmation and any charges that appeared after cancellation.
• File a complaint with your state's Attorney General office. Many states have consumer protection divisions that investigate billing and subscription violations.
• Send a written demand letter. Use certified mail to send Natural Cycles a formal notice of cancellation, including your account details, confirmation of your previous cancellation request, and any unauthorized charges. Request a refund within 14 days.

The FTC enforces the Negative Option Rule actively, and companies that ignore consumer cancellation requests face significant penalties. You are not powerless in this situation-federal law is on your side.

How to get a refund after cancellation

After you cancel, your next automatic charge should not occur.

What to expect after you cancel

Once you confirm your cancellation through email, your app access may remain active until your current billing period ends (depending on Natural Cycles' policy). This is normal-you paid for access through that date, so you should keep it. No new charge should appear on your card when your next renewal date would have occurred. Monitor your credit card statement carefully for 7 to 10 days after cancellation.

What to do if you are charged after cancellation

If a charge appears on your statement after you canceled, take these steps immediately:

1. Log into your Natural Cycles account and verify your subscription status shows as "canceled" or "inactive"
   • Take a screenshot of this screen
2. Check your email for the cancellation confirmation message
   • Note the date and time of the cancellation confirmation
3. Contact your credit card company within 60 days of the unauthorized charge
   • Explain that you canceled your subscription and provide proof
   • Request a refund (chargeback)
4. If your card company denies the chargeback, escalate to the FTC as described in the previous section

Credit card companies are required by law to investigate your dispute and typically side with consumers when proof of cancellation exists. Keep all documentation-confirmation emails, screenshots of your account status, and credit card statements-for at least six months.

Common mistakes to avoid when canceling Natural Cycles

Canceling should be straightforward, but many users inadvertently make mistakes that lead to unnecessary charges or confusion.

Mistake 1: assuming account deletion cancels your subscription

Deleting your Natural Cycles account does not automatically stop your subscription and charges. Account deletion and subscription cancellation are two separate actions. You must explicitly cancel your subscription first, then delete your account if you wish. At Tocancel, we have seen users delete their accounts thinking the charges would stop, only to discover a renewal charge appeared months later. Cancel your subscription through the billing section, not through account settings.

Mistake 2: missing your renewal date

If your renewal date is January 15 and you try to cancel on January 16, the charge has already posted. Your best defense is to set a phone reminder for five days before your renewal date. This gives you a window to cancel without scrambling. Check your billing section now and mark your renewal date on your calendar or phone.

Mistake 3: canceling through customer service instead of your account

While contacting customer service may feel more secure, canceling through your account settings creates an automatic digital record. If you cancel by email or chat, you rely on customer service to process it-and delays or errors can result in unwanted charges. Use your account dashboard whenever possible, and always save the confirmation email.

Mistake 4: not checking for charges after cancellation

Even when you cancel correctly, billing errors happen. Check your credit card statement 7 to 10 days after your renewal date to confirm no charge appeared. This one action catches 90% of accidental post-cancellation charges before they become larger problems. A quick review is worth the two minutes it takes.

Mistake 5: ignoring cancellation confirmation emails

Natural Cycles will send you a confirmation email when you cancel. Do not delete this email. Screenshot it, forward it to yourself, print it-keep a copy in multiple places. This email is your proof if a dispute arises later. Without it, you have no evidence the company received your cancellation request.

What to do after you cancel Natural Cycles

Cancellation is not the end of the process-staying organized ensures no surprises appear on your bill.

• Save your cancellation confirmation email. Create a folder in your email labeled "Canceled Subscriptions" and file the confirmation there. You may need this proof later.
• Set a reminder for your old renewal date. Three days after what would have been your next renewal date, check your credit card statement to confirm no charge appeared. This gives you peace of mind and catches errors early.
• Consider consolidating your subscriptions. At Tocancel, we recommend reviewing all your active subscriptions quarterly. Many people have forgotten paid accounts sitting idle. A 15-minute audit can save you hundreds of dollars annually.
• Delete the Natural Cycles app if you wish. After confirming cancellation, you can delete the app from your phone. This step is optional-it simply removes the app from your device but does not affect your subscription status.
