Our honesty promise

The three things this tool refuses to do.

01

We don't earn commission on any method.

02

We show side effects, not just benefits.

03

We tell you when to see a doctor instead of us.

Here's the argument, laid bare.

Five common methods, four honest axes. Your quiz result highlights the column that best fits your body — this preview shows a hormonal IUD match.

Method → Combined pill Your matchHormonal IUD Copper IUD Implant Fertility awareness
Effectiveness 99.7% 99.8% 99.2% 99.9% 76–98%

Effectiveness figures reflect typical-use ranges from published clinical data. Individual suitability depends on your history — that's what the quiz maps.

How it works

Three steps from confusion to a clear, honest shortlist.

01

Log 2 cycles or import from your tracker.

Bring the data you already have. We read cycle length and variability — no guesswork.

Cycle 1Cycle 2Cycle 3
02

We map your hormonal sensitivity & lifestyle fit.

Past side effects, routine, and priorities weigh into every score.

03

You get a ranked shortlist with trade-offs spelled out.

Every option carries its honest downsides beside its upsides.
