A method of monitoring the menstrual cycle of a human female comprising:

• providing an initial indicator with first indicia representing a first day of menstrual bleeding;
• providing a second set of indicators comprising six indicators disposed adjacent one another, each of the six indicators provided with second indicia representing early infertile days;
• providing a third set of indicators comprising twelve indicators disposed adjacent one another, each of the twelve indicators provided with third indicia representing fertile days;
• providing a fourth set of indicators disposed adjacent one another representing later infertile days;
• ordering the indicators together to form an ordered set with the initial indicator disposed adjacent an indicator from the second set, the second set disposed between the initial indicator and the third set, the third set disposed between the second and fourth sets, and an indicator from the fourth set disposed adjacent an indicator from the third set, with the ordered set including a twenty-seventh indicator determined by counting each consecutive indicator starting with the initial indicator;
• providing the twenty-seventh indicator with different indicia from indicia provided to the other indicators in the fourth set.

A method of assisting a human female to monitor her menstrual cycle, said female having an initial indicator representing a first day of menstrual bleeding, a second set of indicators consisting of six indicators representing early infertile days, a third set of indicators consisting of twelve indicators representing fertile days, and a fourth set of indicators representing later infertile days, the indicators forming an ordered set with the initial indicator disposed adjacent an indicator from the second set, the second set disposed between the initial indicator and the third set, the third set disposed between the second and fourth sets, the ordered set including a twenty-seventh indicator determined by counting each consecutive indicator starting with the initial indicator, and a movable marker for coupling to each indicator, the method comprising the steps of:

• instructing the female to couple the movable marker to the initial indicator on the first day of menstrual bleeding at the beginning of her menstrual cycle;
• instructing the female to advance and couple the movable marker to an adjacent indicator each day without advancing the movable marker to the same indicator more than once during her menstrual cycle;
• instructing the female to consult her health care provider if menstrual bleeding occurs when the movable marker is coupled to one of the indicators in the third or fourth sets and prior to the twenty-seventh indicator.

A menstrual cycle monitor for a human female comprising:

• an initial indicator provided with first indicia representing a first day of menstrual bleeding;
• a second set of indicators consisting of six indicators disposed adjacent one another, each of the six indicators provided with second indicia representing early infertile days;
• a third set of indicators consisting of twelve indicators disposed adjacent one another, each of the twelve indicators provided with third indicia representing fertile days;
• and
• a fourth set of indicators disposed adjacent one another representing later infertile days;
• wherein the indicators together comprise an ordered set with the initial indicator disposed adjacent an indicator from the second set, the second set disposed between the initial indicator and the third set, the third set disposed between the second and fourth sets, and an indicator from the fourth set disposed adjacent an indicator from the third set, and
• the ordered set includes a twenty-seventh indicator determined by counting each consecutive indicator starting with the initial indicator, and the twenty-seventh indicator is provided with different indicia from indicia provided to the other indicators in the fourth set.
