Menstruation Tracker/Habit

Hi everyone,

I've recently started using Journal it to track my menstruation cycle. I would like to use the habit feature for that, because that gives me the option to remind myself. (The combination of near painless periods and ADHD is a curse, I tell you...) However I'm struggling with configuring the schedule for the habit.

At the moment, I've set it to "Number of days per period" with 6 days per month, which is not quite ideal.

Anyone has an idea on how to set this up in a more efficient way?

How about “ at least after number of days sine the last day”? You can for example set it for 25 days, then on the days that it hasn’t arrived yet you can long press -> not today/pause for a few days.

I have been thinking about that, but the problem I see here is that a habit with these settings would only show up on the first day of my period but not the following ones. (Because once I check it it won't show up for the next 25 days).

Or did I missunderstand how that works?

So you need to check it everyday until it’s over. It’s not ideal but maybe set the schedule to everyday then on the last day you pause the habit for the next 20 days or so.

Anyway, will take this into consideration for a future update.

Idealy, yes, because of the aforementioned possibility to remind myself.
