The "breathe ilo 2.0" app shows all 4 cycle phases:
- menstrual phase,
- follicular phase,
- ovulation phase and
- luteal phase.
Menstrual phase
The first day of your period or menstruation is also automatically your 1st day of a new cycle. The first day of your period is the day when a clear, red bleeding is visible. It is important to also always tell the app your 1st day of a new cycle in order to receive correct predictions and for breathe ilo to get to know your cycle. Your menstrual phase ends with the last day of your period.
Important: Spotting or bleeding between periods is not considered a period. Periods and spotting must be clearly differentiated from each other.
The menstruation phase is displayed in red.
Follicular phase
The follicular phase is the phase between your period and the ovulation phase.
The follicular phase is displayed in purple.
Ovulation phase (high fertility)
The ovulation phase is when you ovulate. breathe ilo shows 6 fertile days. If you use the app in combination with the breathe ilo cycle tracker, your ovulation phase (high fertility) in your cycle is accurately determined based on the measurements. The breathe ilo app also learns from your past cycles, so the forecast also becomes more accurate from cycle to cycle.
The ovulation phase is displayed in green.
Lutal phase
The luteal phase is the last phase of the cycle and before your next period.
During this phase, the progesterone in your body increases, PMS symptoms occur mainly in this phase. Your cycle ends with the end of the luteal phase. As soon as your period starts, please tell the app the start of your new cycle.
The luteal phase is displayed in yellow.
