Fluctuating hormones can create a roller coaster of emotions along with some interesting challenges. It’s different for every woman. You may need to have an informed conversation with your healthcare provider around symptom relief. How can you have informed conversations if you don’t have the basic know-how of what is happening? And if you can't remember the frequency and intensity of your symptoms how can you decide on treatment options? With this app you get educated, you can journal, you can track symptoms, and most importantly - you will be gently reminded to take care of yourself. This app will also generate a weekly confidential report. Absolutely no one has access to your information and there is no advertising whatsoever. Just you keeping track of how things are going. For your eyes only (or not, it’s up to you).
