In simulations, pregnancy rates approached those reported for commonly used contraceptives such as condoms

long-term hormonal methods or sterilization.

While pregnancy rates for the NFP use-case were not significantly improved,

the predictions enabled a four-fold increase in the efficiency of timed intercourse,

facilitating more targeted pregnancy efforts for couples.

In simulations, model-guided decisions reduced unintended pregnancies relative to naive and

These results are simulation-based and depend on assumptions about intercourse
