Using the Calendar View

The calendar is the heart of Lova — here's everything it can show you and how to get the most out of it.

Quick Reference

1

2

Tap any date to log or view entries for that day

3

Swipe left or right to move between months

4

Pinch or use the view selector to switch between month and week views

Reading the Calendar

Lova uses color and icons on each calendar date to give you an instant overview of your cycle:

  • Solid pink/red dates: Days your period was logged
  • Light pink dates: Predicted period days (Lova's best guess based on your history)
  • Blue dot: Predicted ovulation day
  • Light blue band: Predicted fertile window (the days you're most likely to be fertile)
  • Small dot below a date: You logged a symptom, mood, or note for that day
ℹ️

Predictions Get More Accurate Over Time

The more cycles you log, the better Lova's predictions become. After two or three logged cycles, period forecasts are usually within a day or two.

Logging from the Calendar

You don't need to hunt for a log button — just tap a date. From there you can:

  • Mark the day as a period day (or remove the mark if it was a mistake)
  • Set your flow level for that day (light, medium, heavy, spotting)
  • Add symptoms like cramps, headaches, or bloating
  • Record your mood
  • Write a free-text note

Tap Save and the calendar updates instantly to reflect what you entered.

Editing a Past Entry

Made a mistake on a previous day? No problem:

  1. Tap the date you want to correct
  2. Make your changes — add, remove, or adjust anything
  3. Tap Save

Lova recalculates your cycle predictions after any edit, so corrections always improve accuracy.

Switching Views

Lova offers two calendar layouts:

  • Month view: See the whole month at a glance — good for spotting patterns and checking upcoming predictions
  • Week view: A wider look at just one week — useful when you want to see more detail about each day's entries without scrolling

Switch views by tapping the view icon in the top corner, or by pinching on the calendar.

💡

Scroll Back in Time

You can scroll back months or years to see your full history. Tap a past period to review details, add notes you forgot to log at the time, or correct any mistakes.

The Day Summary Panel

When you tap a date, a panel slides up showing everything you've logged for that day, plus Lova's prediction for where you are in your cycle. This is useful if you're not sure whether a day falls in your fertile window or how many days into your current cycle you are.
