Frequently asked questions

How is my next period predicted?
By adding your cycle length to the start of your last period, then repeating for future cycles.
Why might my period be off?
Stress, travel, illness and hormonal changes can all shift timing, so predictions are approximate.
Is this a fertility or contraception tool?
No — it only predicts period timing and shouldn’t be relied on for contraception.
