How Important Is It To Maintain A Menstrual Calendar?

Whether you call it your monthly visitor, your period, or one of many other creative names, menstruation is a mainstay in most women’s lives from early adolescence until menopause in their 40’s and 50’s. 

 Keeping track of your period is important for a number of reasons, primarily health-related. Thanks to technology, it’s now easier than ever to keep track of not just your menstrual cycle, but your moods, physical symptoms, and even food cravings at specific times of the month.

 So, What all do you need to Track?

 Period heaviness by day

Does your period start with a couple of days of heavy flow and then taper off to a day or two of spotting? If so, you probably require different strengths of pads or Menstrual Cups throughout the course of your cycle.

Changes in mood during the menstrual cycle

If you experience PMS or PMDD, your moods may seem subject to random fluctuations. By tracking your moods in the days leading up to and during your period, you just might find that you wake up on the wrong side of bed exactly two days before starting your cycle each month.

 Energy level, appetite, and other changes

A lot of women don’t even realize how many aspects of their lives are dictated by their menstrual cycle, at least during certain parts of the month. When you track how you feel as your cycle approaches, you can learn some pretty interesting things about your habits.

 For example, you may find that you tend to eat everything in sight on the first day of your period. You can use that knowledge to make sure you have healthy snacks on hand to indulge those urges.
