Thanks to BabyComp, I gained a comprehensive and objective insight into my menstrual cycle.

The woman’s menstrual cycle
The length of the menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman. The example shown here only serves to explain the method. BabyComp and LadyComp recognise your personal cycle by means of a temperature reading in the morning and by data reconciliation.
