- Question: What is this?
- Suzy: !Menstat, the first in a new line of Macintosh software designed
- to address women's heath issues, is a tool for estimating and tracking
- different phases of a woman's menstrual cycle.
- Question: How did you come up with this and why?
- Suzy: After years of unsuccessful guesswork on my part to predict
- when my period would arrive, I asked Paco (The Brain) to get involved.
- He was a great help, but his process was too mathematical. To make a
- long story short, I told him when I got my period and a few minutes
- later he could tell me when I might get it next.
- I started to think about the women I knew, and came to the conclusion
- that they probably could use this too. The problem was that only Paco
- could understand the program enough to use it. So, we made it user-
- friendly.
- Some important reasons to use this program are:
- Medical Records… I went to the hospital once with an infection and
- they wanted to know when my last menstrual flow had been. I tried
- to explain that I couldn't remember when that had been. I was a REAL
- help!
- No More Guess Work… Less surprises.
- !Warning: One good reason not to use this software is for birth control.
- Ovulation estimates are only approximate and SubPhyllum will
- not take responsibility for the use of this product in conjunction with
- the rhythm method.
- One last reason that Paco & I created this software was to get people
- talking about issues such as menstruation. It affects too many of us to
- be kept as a taboo subject.
- Thanks for hearing us out &
- we hope you enjoy!
- Suzy & Paco
