How can I exclude an irregular menstrual cycle from my average cycle length?
|
|
|
If you occasionally have irregular menstrual cycles, you can exclude such
cycles from your average cycle length calculation by using
Cycle Exclusion Rules on the My Preferences screen.
You can also use cycle rules to exclude special cycles, such as pregnancy or
miscarriage. These are not, of course, menstrual cycles, but the tracking
calendar will not know this and assume it's a very long cycle (from
your period before pregnancy until the next period you record).
To exclude cycles that are longer than your usual cycle length,
use the rule: Exclude menstrual cycles that are greater than {you select} days.
To exclude cycles that are shorter than your usual cycle length,
use the rule: Exclude menstrual cycles that are less than than {you select} days.
For More Info: Click the help button on the My Preferences screen for additional
help on menstrual cycle rules.

Notes:
-
Cycle rules are not used for constraining how you track your cycles using
our Menstrual or Period Calendar. With those tools, you can record your
period whenever it occurs, and if your cycles are irregular.
-
Cycle rules are designed handle occasionally irregular
cycles, or special cycles such as pregnancy or miscarriage, so that
your average menstrual cycle length calculation, which is used by many of our
other tools (e.g. calculators, reminders), are not adversely affected.
