How to track your cycle

[imsorrybut]

Out of all the social media apps I have, a period tracking app is the least of my concern for the government to know. Just fucking take my ovulation information, I'll be damned if I have to make a manual calendar just for my period. Nobody got time for that.

This is the ‘calendar method’ and is really only good for if you have consistent regular periods that aren’t affected by real life. Check out the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weshler if you want to know all there is to know about tracking your cycle through your fertility signs (basal body temp, cervical fluid and position of cervix)

When we get a “go to the next video, ” would it be possible to have the “next video” linked in the comments? Can we do that?

I learned this in high school. I use a period tracker app never had an issue and it's bang on and has never failed me

I know I’m going to ovulate when I physically *feel* the pain from it. It’s different from a period cramp but you can just tell. TMI ⚠️ i usually get egg white cervical mucus is a good indicator. But BBT is probably the best way to track too!

"because... GOVERNMENT 😈" cracked me up 😂

I finally got a period tracker app two months ago. I was trying so hard to track manually but was so confused about the times I was having pain and had put off getting an app for YEARS. Well anyways, I now have an oncology appointment tomorrow. Thank you app for helping me notice that things were not okay.

I wonder what the gvmt could do with my period info 😂

[jitterbug]

I have PCOS and endo. It's possible to chart with those too. I'm not a fan of how she does it but it's a good start. There are lots of methods though. Natural family planning, Marquette (my fave), Creighton, Billings and sympto thermal.

I'm so grateful for my mom teaching me this when I first got my period yes I was 11 but it was very helpful and not stressful about when i'm about to get it. I did it in a similar note too 😅

[mishaekhan]

Can you make a video about period days and what's normal? Length of days, types of pain

[marieforceone]

You are AMAZING! Women have needed to hear this info for centuries but it's never discussed. Thank you soo much for all you do!

I am sure the government is super concerned about my cycle 🙄

I tried this when I first got my period at 13 and it worked so well. As I got older my periods became erratic and I never knew when I would get it. When I was 16, just about 17 I started getting 2 periods a month for 7 days each. That lasted for 3 months before I was prescribed birth control which made me vomit so much that I stopped that. As I finished my teen years and found veganism in early college just before I turned 19 I lost my period. Noone tells you that you will lose it when you go on an extreme diet and exercise plan. It came back once I balanced more plant based protein and veggies in my diet. Then I got pregnant and oh the glory of nearly a year without period cramps. After giving birth 6 years ago and every month since I have what I call monster periods. I had a cyst on my ovary whilst pregnant that I never heard about again so who knows if it is still there. I bleed so much every month that I am sometimes too weak to get out of bed. I wear depends and have to change often. It's insane.

I used my notes on my phone to keep track. I put the month and year, then below that write start and end I make it for the entire year and just entire the date I get it, just the number since everything is prefilled. I copy and paste for the new year and just update the year. Our phones are always with us so I figure if wanting to know access your notes, easier than putting it into the phone calendar .

Can you add subtitles please? Deaf women also want to know this data, as many of us do get pregnant and become mothers.

i couldn't find the pt 2 but I loved your feed 🥰

My periods are irregular. Like once every 3 months sometimes longer.

[SquidwardTentacles]

This was really good to know (ive never had a regular period in my life)

[szqsk]

I so glad I dint have to deal with this stuff any more. Menopause is no picnic either and frankly guys don’t know how good they have it. 😊
