iPeriod menstruation tracker app
iPeriod keep track of your menstruation schedule on your iPhone. All you do is enter in the first day and last day of your period for at least two consecutive cycles, and iPeriod calculates your average duration, cycle length and estimates the dates of your next expected periods. A must have for doctor’s appointments, when to go swimming, event planning and estimating when to leave the house prepared.

This iPhone application contains lots of customization and covers more than 60 symptoms. It has four free skins including Winter Sports, 3 calendar styles, track headaches, appetite, breast tenderness, and temperature. The icon for this app is discreet and the name that comes up is just "iP". It will predict your future 12 periods, predicts ovulation and fertility. You can set alerts that will warn you when your period is expected or late. You can also set it to send you an e-mail which is very clever.

The iPeriod app enabled you to records symptoms like flow, cramps, spotting, weight, headaches, energy levels and love making. It can help you track your moods and there are customisable emoticons icons. You can back up your data as well as exporting it by e-mail so you can read it in an excel spreadsheet. There is an attractive calendar view with icons that represent your notes. The calendar can be customised.

To enter notes all you have to do is just double-tap a day on the calendar. The iPerod app will help predict fertile days and ovulation as well as period days and flow. The iPeriod app assumes a luteal phase length of 14 days, which is the average for most women. You can modify the luteal phase length in the settings screen. The timing of ovulation is complex and requires studying the individual woman’s body and cycles. iPeriod’s ovulation prediction is based on averages and is meant to be used as an estimate only.
