Cycle Insights adds contraceptives to menstrual tracking

Published on May 02, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The Cycle Insights app has updated its platform to include over twenty contraceptive methods in its monitoring system. The tool now analyzes how these methods affect variables such as basal temperature, sleep patterns, and physical recovery. A proposal that aims to provide more accurate data for those using hormonal or barrier contraceptives.

Algorithms that process hormonal and physiological variables 🔬

The technical development integrates an analysis engine that cross-references body temperature data with the documented effects of each contraceptive. For example, hormonal implants can raise basal temperature by 0.3 degrees, while copper IUDs do not cause that change. The system also adjusts sleep metrics based on the cycle phase and the method used, allowing differentiation between a sleepless night and a side effect of the contraceptive.

Now you'll know if your bad mood is your fault or the IUD's 😅

Finally, an app that will tell you if that sudden heat at three in the morning is a hormonal hot flash or if the neighbor turned up the heating. And the best part: when you argue with your partner, you can check the history and say it's not that I'm grumpy, it's that my contraceptive patch is in thermal adjustment phase. Science at the service of domestic peace.
