Keeping a menstrual calendar is a wonderful way to keep track of irregular bleeding patterns and other menstrual problems.

Women can keep track of their menstrual cycles in many ways: on their daily calendar at home, on their electronic PDA, or on a "menstrual card" similar to what you see below.

The nice thing about a menstrual card is that it allows you and your healthcare provider to view an entire year's worth of menstrual activity at a glance. Feel free to print out the calendar below for your use, or you can stop by the office and request one.

To use this calendar:  Enter the appropriate letter in the proper calendar day square.
S = spotting     B = bleeding     H = heavy bleeding

You can also add other symbols as needed. For instance, if you are having a lot of pelvic pain, perhaps you would mark a P in the box when you have pain. Or if you have a lot of headaches, maybe you would mark an X to denote those. Feel free to use this calendar in a way that best suits your needs.
