The practice of observing, recording & interpreting bodily signs associated with the menstrual cycle. These signs include waking body temperature taken orally under the tongue every morning & cervical fluid observed on toilet paper after wiping across the vaginal opening. These signs are recorded in a simple chart - hence why this practice is often called cycle charting.
Cycle charting can yield health insights & allow people who menstruate to identify the days during their cycle when unprotected sex could lead to pregnancy. If they're trying to avoid pregnancy they can use barriers (condoms or a diaphragm) on those days & enjoy deliciously natural sex on all other days of their cycle. This is called the sympto-thermal fertility awareness method. It's 99.6% effective with perfect use & is *not* the same as the old-fashioned calendar rhythm method. It's currently being embraced by lots of crunchy people who aren't wanting to use hormonal contraception. It's secular & pro-choice.
Cycle charting is also not the same as period tracking. Period tracking is simply noting the days of menstruation. This information can be used to guesstimate approximately when your next period might be due but it can't give insights into your overall cycle nor can it be used to avoid pregnancy effectively.

Since coming off the pill I've become totally obsessed with cycle charting! I love being more in touch with my body and being able to avoid pregnancy without having to use condoms every day of my cycle.

Get the banchoddas chatriwala mug.A website for books… That’s just the cover. On the inside there a community. I’m apart of it but I don’t know if there are more communities such as it. A community where kids ranged from 9 all the way to 17 come around and communicate-Chat- in what we call chats (which are really just book updates) It’s a place where a lot of the young ones online date for a couple days, longest recorded is months, “find themselves” which actually the 12 year olds just turn gay for a day or two and date then say in their bio “Sexuality:Idk” The story above online happened once tho. Goodreads chatting started in 2017. No matter how many times I reported those who are under 13 (TOS) there wasn’t any use. Anyway some users that deserve credit are Nerf (who chronicled GR history from the golden days to now) and James a nerd. Anyways the way kids find each other is from kindle. Note that keeping your sanity is something rare
