ü
plus a daily journal.

Fertility
It might not be something you want to think about but
many unplanned pregnancies occur in the perimenopausal demographic. So we all need to remember that, regardless
of what society's view of older women is, motherhood is still an option. It's
up to you what do about it.
The services give you the tools to track your period and
ovulation. You also get certain abilities to track your sexual activity. So make
a baby, don't make a baby. The tracker will help either way.
The tracker also provides the ability to keep a record and
get reminded on very important breast self-exams.
You are able to record test results including your
medical exams, hormone tests and STD tests for those back out there on the
dating scene.
If you are using the Alerts options, you can get reminded
when your period and ovulation is expected and when your next annual Mammogram
and Pap Smear are due.
Your daily log always tells you the last date for all
tests so you can use the calendar to go back to that date and check results.
Plus, the Summary Doctor Report gives you a brief
overview of all those details to take with you so you can easily answer
questions like "When was your last period?".
Tests
You can input the records on the dates and the results of
numerous tests including:
ü
Breast Examinations
ü
Pelvic Examinations
ü
Pap Smears
ü
Mammograms
ü
Hormone Tests including FSH, Estrogen,
Progesterone, Estrogen/Progesterone Ratios, Testosterone, DHEA and Cortisol
ü
STD Tests such as AIDS and HIV
It is recommended that test results be recorded in the
comments tab on the day of the test.
Weight and Fitness
Being fit for menopause is your number #1 health
priority. Not only do you need to reduce
your BMI to ward off diabetes and issues related to excess estrogen such as Hot
Flashes, you need to increase your strength to protect and strengthen your
bones.
The tools track your weight, BMI and BMR as well as track
the time spent devoted to exercise focusing on flexibility, strength and
cardio. If you are calorie counting you
can track that too.
You are able to set weight goals giving realistic
feedback on time frames and calorific intake.
And if you subscribe to the Alerts, you will be reminded when
you are overdue on entering your exercise, weight or body measurements.
Symptoms
There are listed about 50 possible symptoms, which may be
relating to menopause. You can tick as
many as apply in you in the daily logs.
Many are not daily occurrences e.g. dry skin and you need not record it
every day if you do not wish to. However,
many come and go and so you can note these things to see if there is a pattern is
linked to your cycle.
Supplements
There is included list of all useful Vitamins and most
Minerals, as well as recognized Supplements, for Menopause. You may record and
track, if you are using Prescription (Rx) hormones replacement therapy in
various combinations as well as three other unnamed Rx options. When you mark an Rx option you can note what
it stands for in your comments.
Comments
You can keep a daily journal to record details of your
Symptoms, comments about your Supplements/Prescriptions, Test Results or major
events in your life.
You can also record additional readings such as
Cholesterol and Bone Density (although we hope to add these to the main tests
soon).
What your write is up to you. Only you see it.
You don't have to buy anything to use the offered tools.
They are totally free. But you do need to create an account to use them.
