Cycle Tracking becomes useful through a few simple habits: enter an honest starting point, confirm when each period actually begins and ends, wear your ring consistently overnight, and read future dates as estimates rather than promises.

You do not need to reconstruct years of history or record every symptom. A small amount of reliable information is more valuable than a detailed diary built from guesses.

Make the record easy enough to keep current

A brief update when your period starts can be more useful than trying to remember it much later. If you log late, use the actual date rather than the day you opened the App. You can then return to your day; tracking does not require constant attention to every estimated phase.

1. Set up your current context

During setup, AIVELA asks about information that changes whether cycle-phase predictions are meaningful, including:

• whether you use hormonal contraception or another hormone treatment;
• whether fertility treatment is active;
• whether you are currently pregnant;
• the start and end of your most recent known period;
• your typical cycle length, if known.

Answer with what you know and choose “Prefer not to say” where available if you do not want to disclose a detail. AIVELA may limit phase-related insights rather than guess when your hormone status is unknown or ordinary cycle assumptions may not apply.

Setup asks only for the most recent known period. You do not need to add a long historical archive before beginning.

2. Read the current Cycle Ring

In the normal experience, the Cycle Ring can show:

• today's Cycle Day when the current cycle begins with a confirmed period start;
• an estimated Period, Follicular, Ovulatory, or Luteal phase;
• the next expected period;
• whether the current display relies on a confirmed or estimated cycle start.

If no recent period start was confirmed and the App advances using an earlier prediction, it should say Estimated or Based on your latest cycle prediction. In that view, AIVELA avoids presenting a definite Cycle Day because the displayed start was not confirmed by you.

Phase descriptions explain common patterns some people notice. They are not instructions for how you should feel or how hard you should train. Your actual sleep, recovery, symptoms, preferences, and medical guidance matter more than a general phase description.

3. Log the actual period start

When your period begins:

1. Open Log period.
2. Select the date bleeding actually started, including a recent past date if you are logging late.
3. Review the date and save it.

That confirmed date creates Cycle Day 1, updates the current cycle, and helps refresh future predictions. The expected date shown earlier never becomes a real record unless you confirm it.

Use this entry for the current or most recent period. Cycle Tracking is not designed for freely inserting many older periods from the home screen.

4. Confirm when the period ends

While a real period record is ongoing, the action changes to End period. Choose the last actual day of the period and save it.

The end date completes your period range and helps AIVELA build a more useful view of your typical period length. It does not start a new cycle or independently refresh future period timing.

If AIVELA asks, “Has your period ended?” you can:

• choose Yes and enter the real end date;
• choose Not yet and leave the record ongoing.

An estimated end may be used to keep the Cycle Ring readable, but it remains an estimate. If you forget the end date, the rest of the current Cycle Ring can still remain available. You can add the missing end later.

5. Use reminders as questions, not conclusions

Near an expected start, AIVELA may ask whether your period has begun. Select Yes only when it has actually started. If not, choose Not yet; the prediction should not become a confirmed period.

If you return to the App after a long absence, AIVELA does not need you to answer a queue of old reminders. Focus on the current view and log the latest real period if you know it.

Missing an end date also does not stop you from recording a new period start. AIVELA may invite you to complete the earlier record, but you can skip if you do not know the answer.

6. Expect predictions to change

Your expected period and phase can move as you confirm new dates and AIVELA learns from additional cycle and nighttime temperature information. Natural cycle variation also means the next cycle may not repeat the last one exactly.

When a date changes, ask:

1. Did I recently log or edit a period start?
2. Has the ring synchronized recent nights?
3. Is the current Cycle Ring labeled Estimated?
4. Have travel, illness, stress, medication, or schedule changes affected this cycle?

A changing prediction is not automatically a malfunction. It is still an estimate responding to current information.

7. Keep the feature current with two habits

For the most useful experience:

• wear AIVELA RING PRO consistently overnight;
• log each real period start, and add the end date when known.

Initial predictions appear before deep personalization is complete. Roughly three months of consistent nighttime information gives temperature personalization a stronger foundation, but there is no single day when prediction quality suddenly changes.

If Cycle Prediction becomes unavailable, synchronize the ring and log the latest real period start if one is missing. AIVELA should not fill an expired forecast with an unsupported generic date.

8. Review and correct Cycle History carefully

Cycle History is for confirmed period records, not predicted periods. You can review existing records, correct a saved start or end, add a missing end, or delete an incorrect record.

Before changing a start date, check the calendar carefully: it can change Cycle Day, the current display, cycle-length history, and future predictions. Use a correction to reflect what happened, not to make the graph look more regular.

Cycle length and variability are descriptive personal patterns. They do not determine whether a cycle is medically normal.

9. Know when not to rely on Cycle Tracking

Do not use AIVELA Cycle Tracking to decide when to have unprotected sex, prevent pregnancy, time conception, confirm ovulation, or determine whether you are pregnant. It does not show a fertile window or pregnancy probability.

Hormonal contraception, hormone therapy, active fertility treatment, pregnancy, and the period after pregnancy may limit or pause predictions. Update your status when it changes so the App does not apply an unsuitable cycle view.

If you have unusual bleeding, severe or persistent pain, a missed period that concerns you, possible pregnancy, or another health question, use appropriate testing and qualified healthcare, not an App prediction, to decide what to do.

Confirm what happened. Treat what comes next as an estimate.
