The log is designed for handwriting. The two-week format is an editorial starting point, not a validated test or a required waiting period before care.

What is included?

  • Week one: seven rows for dates, symptoms, sleep or cycle context, and daily impact.
  • Week two: the same format so the entries are easier to compare.
  • Appointment summary: the main concern, timeline, treatment changes and questions.

Write your own severity descriptions if helpful. The document does not assign a diagnostic score or tell you whether you are in perimenopause.

How to fill in a daily row

Choose two or three concerns and make a brief entry at a time that fits your life. Use estimates when you do not know the exact time or duration. Include a quiet day when you can, and mark missed days rather than reconstructing them.

Illustrative row: “October 12 | Woke twice, warm once | No bleeding; changed evening medicine last week | Needed a break while working.”

A longer explanation can go on the back of the page. You do not need to make every row look the same to have a useful record.

Turn the entries into an appointment summary

Count the days you actually recorded. Choose one concern to lead with, then add a concrete example of its effect and any treatment or bleeding context. Write two questions that you would like answered.

Bring a separate medication and supplement list with product names and doses, and keep the underlying logs available. The summary should stay honest about gaps and uncertainty.

Paper or an app: choose the format you will use

The Office on Women’s Health recommends discussing symptoms and tracking periods, and NHLBI describes short sleep diaries. A paper log or an app can help organize those observations; neither can diagnose the cause.

If you prefer digital notes, open The Change Notes. For a more detailed example, read the 14-day journal guide. Ask for care when needed rather than waiting to finish the pages.

Start with one useful note.

Use The Change Notes to record what you notice, then organize your observations and questions for your clinician.
