Journal Your Period!
Hear me out… Why wouldn’t you journal your menstrual cycle every month?! I mean period tracking apps are cool, convenient and all. BUT!!…. There’s nothing like writing your thoughts out and marking the date of your experiences.
I journaled my menstrual cycle for about 4 years. It started with simply writing down dates, my symptoms, and feelings. If something was unusual or stand out from my previous periods, I would notice it because of my journal. This became valuable personal data that I would share with my primary care physician and OB/GYN. You know that ol’ annoying, common question doctors ask you?! “When was your last menstrual cycle?” or '“What was the first day of your last menstrual cycle?” Let me tell you, I can’t stand that question however I always had more details to give them. Some doctors were impressed, however most were shocked by my initiative and how educated I was on my own anatomy.
I’ve created a digital version of my period journal for you to know how you can start your own journal. This is also for you to know exactly how to start tracking your own menstrual cycle. You can purchase then download it immediately here.
