Early adulthood

Know what's happening

• Your cycle affects energy, mood and sleep. Tracking it turns guesswork into knowledge.
• Regular checkups and screenings are routine care, not a sign something is wrong.
• Knowing your family's health history helps you and your clinician plan ahead.

For entertainment and reflection only, not medical or mental health advice. Always seek a qualified professional about your health.

Use your voice

• Practice asking clear questions at appointments, and expect clear answers.
• Set boundaries in work and relationships early; they get easier with use.
• Build friendships with women older and younger than you.

See who you're becoming

• Who you are at 22 isn't who you have to be at 29. Changing your mind is growth.
• The habits of knowing yourself you build now will serve you at 47.
• You're writing the first chapters of a lifelong story, not the whole book.
