Best Practices

Be Consistent

Log at the same time each day (morning or evening) for consistent data.

Log Absence Too

On days with no symptoms, consider noting "no symptoms" - this data is valuable for pattern recognition.

Rate Intensity

When available, rate symptom intensity. "Mild cramps" vs "severe cramps" tells a different story.

Add Notes

Use notes for context: "Headache - maybe dehydration?" or "Cramps worse than usual."

Viewing Patterns

After tracking for a few cycles:

  1. Go to Insights in the app
