often seen in the street without a hat

I always marked days on the calendar and when trying to get pregnant charted mucus and temperatures too, which was very useful for convincing midwives to base my due dates on a 35 day cycle and actual ovulation date rather than their standard 28. I'd have been induced far earlier otherwise. They also base the blood tests for Down's syndrome on a 28 day cycle unless you insist otherwise. I know you're not planning on getting pregnant but in case anyone else is, having evidence of an unusual cycle length can avoid a lot of stress.


Monthly info sounds good. I've had the mirena hormonal coil for 18 months with random spotting and now 2 months after stopping breastfeeding just had 9 days of bleeding. My last period was November 2006 and I'm going hey, I remember this... I quite fancy a high tech way of working out what's going on now.
