"I often delay treatment for up to three months and ask women to chart their symptoms. I would be delighted if every woman came to my clinic with one of these diaries."

National Association for Premenstrual Syndrome

Do you suffer from irregular painful periods or period related mood swings? Do you have pre-menstrual syndrome? Do you have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Endometriosis or Chronic Pelvic Pain? Do you wonder if your symptoms have a pattern to them or could be better controlled by making dietary or lifestyle changes?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then the blue moons diary will help you.

• Start at any time of the year
• See clearly and easily the severity and patterns of your key symptoms
• Understand whether stress or lifestyle factors are making your symptoms worse
• Monitor the effect of any treatments or interventions
• Simple to use - highly effective - stylishly discreet

If you suffer from premenstrual syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome or endometriosis, understanding and controlling your symptoms can be quite difficult. This is why health experts recommend keeping a daily record of your symptoms and the factors that may influence them. But this is easier said than done - what symptoms do you record? And more importantly, how do you record symptoms in a way that makes sense when it comes to reviewing them later? The blue moons diary will make recording and monitoring your symptoms easy - this can be an important step toward you taking control of your menstrual symptoms.

Your blue moons diary will fill the gap between your ‘expert' knowledge of yourself and the expert knowledge your doctor or specialist has about menstrual disorders in general.

The diary's reflections pages will keep you in touch with what is happening with your body week by week, while the specially designed symptom monitoring chart allows both you and your doctor or therapist to see at a glance how you are managing. 

If you take medication or make lifestyle changes you can chart the results in your diary and really see if it is helping or not. You will be able to see trends as symptoms change as well as noticing any patterns and relationships between different symptoms.

The diary's straightforward guide to menstrual disorders includes advice about seeking alternative as well as conventional treatment and helpful advice on breaking the taboo - how to tell your family and friends about what is happening to you. 

There are over 8 million women in the UK alone who suffer from menstrual disorders but the blue moon diary is about you - it's about helping you to understand your specific symptoms so that you can help yourself and sort them out.
