Why should I track of my period?

Keeping track of when your period starts and stops is a good way to see if there is a pattern to your menstrual cycle. It's also important to write down how many days you have your period and the amount of flow you have. Bring your Period Trackers with you when you see your health care provider so that he or she can evaluate your cycle.

My Monthly Period & Symptom Tracker

My Monthly Period & Symptom Tracker is an easy way to keep track of your menstrual flow, and it’s also a way to keep track of cramps, and/or PMS and period symptoms (if you have them) each month.

• Review the sample Monthly Period & Symptom Tracker.
• Print out copies of My Monthly Period & Symptom Tracker.
• Simply make a check mark in the appropriate box (or boxes) for each day of the month. If you don't have any flow or any symptoms on any given day, leave the box empty. Refer to the Blood Flow Key at the bottom for "Flow" definitions.
• The numbers at the top are the same as the dates in one month. Some months don't have 31 days, you may leave some boxes empty.
• Remember to bring My Monthly Period & Symptom Tracker with you to your medical appointments.

My Yearly Period Tracker

My Yearly Period Tracker is a simple and convenient way to track your period throughout the year.

• Review the sample Yearly Period Tracker.
• Print a copy of My Yearly Period Tracker.
• Refer to the Key at the bottom to learn how to fill in the box with the appropriate letter(s). Place a "T" in the box for the hormone pill taken, and place an "R" for reminder (placebo) pills.
• Be sure to note if you've taken a pill during your period by putting a B/T or B/R in the box.
• Remember to bring My Yearly Period Tracker with you to your medical appointments.
• Talk to your health care provider about whether you should use the monthly and/or yearly tracker to track your period.
