An Intro To This Guide

You’ve heard it before, and it’s true: everyone’s cycle is different.

In this case, normal means healthy, and a healthy cycle is shaped by these factors: 

Throughout this guide, we’ll unpack what a healthy cycle looks and feels like and we’ll teach you how to read your own.  As we explain the causes for abnormal flow, blood color, symptoms and more, you’ll begin to understand what these markers are telling you not only about your cycle but also about your overall health. 

You might be tempted to Google ways to ‘fix’ whatever you’ve identified. A word of caution: there is no miracle cure and self-diagnosing can be dangerous if you don’t have complete information. We are confident that you can improve your cycle (our founder has helped over ten thousand women do so!) but we know that it doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time and requires behavioral changes, not just popping a pill.

Let’s get started by looking at frequency and duration.
