How to Log Your First Period
Getting started with Lova is simple. Begin tracking your cycle privately in just a few taps.
Open Lova
Launch the Lova app on your device. Sign in with Apple, Google, or your email to start tracking.
Tap the Calendar or "Log Period" Button
On the main screen, you'll see a calendar view and a prominent "Log Period" button. Tap either:
The button
Opens the period logging dialog for today
A calendar date
Opens logging for that specific day
Select Your Period Start Date
If your period started today, the date is already selected. If it started earlier, tap the correct date on the calendar.
Backfill Your History
You can log past periods too! Tap any date in the past to add historical data. The more history you add, the better your predictions will be.
Set Flow Intensity (Optional)
You can optionally note your flow intensity:
Light
Spotting or light flow
Medium
Normal flow
Heavy
Heavier than usual
This is optional - you can skip it if you prefer just tracking dates.
Save
Tap "Save" and you're done! Lova will record your period start date and begin calculating predictions.

Privacy Note
Your period data is stored only on your device. It's encrypted and never uploaded anywhere. Not even Lova can see it.
