- Using your own calendar, go to the month that you
first get your period and begin entering your period
cycle information. For example, if you got your
period January 2nd, you would mark that date as
Day 1 of your period.
- Count ahead 28 days, and write in an X to mark that
as the date to expect your next period.
- Put a Heart on the day you actually get your period
and begin counting again.
- In between these dates , mark any physical signs
such as bloating, tender breasts, headaches or
tiredness. Also chart any emotions, or moods you
are feeling such as cranky, sad, happy, tired and
distracted.
- Put a Yellow Dot on the days you see discharge.
This is usually the middle of your cycle and your
body is getting ready to menstruate in 10 – 12 days.
- Your moods will start to become more intense and
your body will start to show some physical signs as
you get closer to your next period. You will feel a
certain way BEFORE your period (the dreaded PMS)
and absolutely, totally different after you have your
period.
