📅 TRACK YOUR CYCLE

Know Your Flow & Understand Your Body

💜 Why Tracking Matters

Tracking your period helps you understand your body better.
It can show you:

• when your next period might start

• how long your cycle usually is

• when cramps or mood changes happen

• what’s normal for you

• when to pack your hygiene kit or carry extra pads

Tracking your cycle = learning your body’s rhythm.

📝 Step-by-Step Guide to Track Your Period

1️⃣ Mark Day 1

Day 1 is the first day you see blood, even if it’s light spotting.

Write down:

• Month

• Day

• How heavy or light it was

2️⃣ Track Each Day of Your Period

Every day, note if your flow is:

• 🔴 light

• 🔴 medium

• 🔴 heavy

Or you can use emojis:

• 🌸 Light

• 🌺 Medium

• 🌹 Heavy

This helps you understand your pattern.

3️⃣ Count the Days Between Periods

After your period ends, count the days until your next one begins.

Most cycles are:

• 24–35 days long

• They may change each month, especially when you’re young

This is normal.

4️⃣ Pay Attention to Your Symptoms

Write down how you feel:

• 😩 Cramps

• 😊 Mood changes

• 😴 Tired

• 😭 Emotional

• 🍫 Food cravings

• 🤒 Tender breasts

• 💧 Bloating

This helps you understand what your body does every month.

5️⃣ Spot Your “Pattern”

After tracking for 2–3 months, you’ll start to see a pattern.

You may notice:

• Your period comes around the same time

• You feel tired a few days before

• You get cravings around week 3

• You get cramps on Day 1

This is your body's way of talking to you.

📱 Use a Period Tracker App (Optional)

These apps make tracking easy:

• Clue

• Flo

• Spot On

• Period Calendar

• Apple Health (iPhone users)

Just open, tap, and your cycle is saved.

💗 Cycle Tip:

Always keep 2–3 pads, wipes, and an extra pair of underwear in your backpack — just in case.
Your period is part of you, and being prepared helps you feel confident.
