How to track my period if I'm still irregular?!


Question: How to track my period if I'm still irregular?
It always varies, and usually ruins my underwear because it comes at unexpected times. Help?

Answers:

The average cycle is 28 days - there will be some variation of a few days up to a week either way, that is normal for most women, but in your teens or early twenties it's more common.

Firstly put down in a calendar when your period does show-up.
This will mean that you have an idea when your period should turn-up, but eventually this will help you see a pattern too, you may also want to watch out for changes to your body leading up to your periods, typical examples would be cramps but many women get more positives signs like increased breast size, or neutral signs like change to body smell. Learn to recognise patterns in changes to your discharge and body in general leading up to menstruation so you can rely on these to tell you when your period is due. You might find it easier to use an online charting tool like on http://mymonthlycycles.com just for a better visual.

The best idea is to try using a basic version of Fertility Awareness Method (FAM).

This is a more complex way of tracking your cycles where you track temperature and cervical changes to determine where you are in your cycle. It can be used as birth control and pregnancy achievement in women with regular cycles, but in women with irregular cycles although it can't be used for these things it can be used to help you determine when your period is due and shows if there are any problems causing irregular cycles.

You can help regulate your cycles. Staying healthy and stress-free obviously helps, but also you may want to consider using herbal treatments such as evening primrose oil or black cohosh capsules, the best method for most is chaste tree used as a tincture to put a few drops into water every day to help regulate your hormones to help regulate your cycles.

You may want to try using pads or liners more often when you think your period might be due, or menstrual cups and softcups can be worn safely before your period is due, they can be worn for up to 12 hours and as they're internal they're more comfortable to wear than pads.
