What is a Placeholder Cycle?
You can create a Placeholder Cycle that will mark the beginning and end of a menstrual cycle without having to include any charting data. If you had a cycle that you took a break from charting, but want to account for the cycle length in your average, you can add this Placeholder Cycle. This is also a good solution for charting a pregnancy (which is technically a very long cycle).
To create a Placeholder cycle, you must go online to OvaGraph.com. So if you’re using the app, you’ll need to logout first (Menu--Settings--Log out). Then, hop on the website and login to your account. Once you’re logged in, click ‘My Cycles’ in the top menu bar, and click ‘Add Placeholder Cycle’. Simply enter the date you want your placeholder to start and then hit ‘Save’. That’s it!
Then, when you see your next cycle begin and you want to start tracking, just create a new cycle as you typically would (either through the website or on the app if that’s where you typically chart). That’s it!
