Before the app, there was the red felt-tipped pen kept next to the paper calendar.
One has to know when to carry additional supplies beyond the gifter spare and the emergency personal reserve tampons. And when to wear different underwear. And when not to schedule dates. And when to buy chocolate. And when pregnancy is more likely. And when pregnancy is less likely. And when to eat liver. And when to buy analgesics. And when to make travel plans and hotel reservations, and when to not go anywhere for any reason.

- bsder 7y agoProtein, iron, and B-complex vitamins. All extremely useful to replenish lost blood.
- flukus 7y agoYou only lose ~80ml of blood. When you donate to the blood bank your giving ~500ml and I've never heard of anyone recommending liver, other than not having an empty stomach there's no special dietary changes necessary. Am I missing something?
- mtrower 7y agoI can't speak directly to your given values, and am unfortunately in a poor position to research them. However, different women have different experiences. Some suffer from anemia and/or iron deficiency during their cycle. Perhaps this information will be useful?
- bsder 7y ago> You only lose ~80ml of blood. That's an average. Almost all the women I have known occasionally complain about a "heavy month" every now and then. That can be either excessive bleeding in terms of volume lost over a normal time or an excessive time length of bleeding. And, a 90lb female losing even 200ml of blood is going to feel effects far more than a 250lb male losing 500ml.
- logfromblammo 7y agoMy mother ate liver and onions once a month. It might not have been necessary, but it's still something she did.
