How to Use a Period Tracker for the First Time

Tracking your cycle is one of the simplest and most empowering ways to understand your body. If you’ve never used one before, here’s a gentle guide to using a period tracker for the first time.

What is a period tracker?
A period tracker helps you record when your period starts and stops each month. It can also track symptoms like cramps, mood changes and energy levels — giving you a better understanding of your unique cycle.

Why use one?

• Spot patterns in your cycle

• Predict when your next period will arrive

• Understand PMS and emotional changes

• Track fertility if trying to conceive (or avoid pregnancy)

• Feel more in tune with your body

How to get started:
1️⃣ Choose a method:

• A free app on your phone

• A paper-based period tracker journal

• A simple calendar

2️⃣ Record your first day of bleeding as Day 1 of your cycle.

3️⃣ Each day, note any symptoms (cramps, mood, energy).

4️⃣ Track consistently over a few months — soon, you’ll notice patterns that help you plan ahead.
