Adhere to the rule of 3 weeks of use and a week break, but with flexibility. Use the first day of your period always as day one, disregarding anything that came before. Take day one as a reset and start a new cycle. This might mean your yam cycle might not be 3 weeks of use exactly, but it will slowly come into rhythm. If you use for 3 weeks, but your cycle doesn’t arrive, take a break anyway and resume after a week’s break. If your period arrives at anytime, reset, mark it as day one and start a new cycle of a week break followed by three weeks of use. There will be some period of time that you will be adjusting till your body falls into a more predictable flow.
