Walk in with your own history, not a guess.
Appointments are short. Arriving with dates, patterns and specifics changes the conversation from recollection to evidence.
What you'll usually be asked
- When your last period started, and how long cycles typically run.
- How many days of bleeding, and how heavy.
- Which symptoms appear, where in the cycle, and how much they affect daily life.
- What's changed recently, and when the change began.
Most of these are hard to answer from memory, and easy to answer from a record.
Preparing in a few minutes
- Bring dates, not impressions. "Cycles between 24 and 38 days over six months" is more useful than "irregular".
- Note what interferes with your life. Pain that stops work or sleep is clinically meaningful.
- Write down your two or three questions first. Appointments run short and the important one is often asked last.
- Take something printable. A summary you can hand over or show on screen saves time.
How RhythmHer helps
From Profile, Export health summary (PDF) creates a summary of what you logged — cycles, symptoms, mood, energy and sleep — for a date range you choose, so you can share it with a clinician. Export data gives you a full copy of your own records. Sharing is always your decision: nothing is sent anywhere unless you send it.
The app also answers common cycle questions in plain language, citing public health sources such as ACOG, the Mayo Clinic, the NHS, the Office on Women's Health and Cleveland Clinic. That's general education to help you prepare, never a diagnosis.
When not to wait for an appointment
Severe pain that stops daily activities, bleeding that soaks through protection hourly, bleeding after menopause, or symptoms of pregnancy complications deserve urgent medical attention rather than more tracking.
Questions
Can I export my cycle history as a PDF?
Yes. In Profile, choose Export health summary (PDF) and pick a date range. You can also export a full copy of your data.
Does RhythmHer send anything to my doctor automatically?
No. Nothing is shared unless you choose to share it. The PDF is yours to send, print or show.
Can RhythmHer tell me what's wrong?
No. It provides general, cited educational information and a record of what you logged. Diagnosis is a clinician's job.
It isn't on the App Store yet. If you'd like to hear when it launches, email [email protected] and we'll let you know. No list, no marketing — just one message.
