Can't help you with the Yahoo calendar except recommending that you try Lightning. ;) I knew there were online ovulation calendars for people trying to conceive but I have never seen much talk about a general menstrual calendar like this. Another useful tool could be for women charting fertility to try to prevent getting pregnant: a digital calendar that could count days, track the rise and fall in basal body temp -- maybe even with a bluetooth thermometer that could send temps directly to a computer without anyone having to get out of bed. Of course maybe this already exists and I just don't know about it. That’s awesome Jacqui. Can’t help you with the Yahoo calendar except recommending that you try Lightning. ;)

I thought I was the only one who tracked her period on her Palm Pilot. Problem for me is I've syncronized my Palm with my Yahoo online calendar, but everytime it syncs it come up with a bunch of errors. Not sure what the problem is there. As far as your cycle vs vacation, I've been known to manipulate my cycle via birth control pills. I did this last spring when I was going on a cruise (wasn't sure what facilities would be available when on beach stops) and again in the summer when I was going to be in England for two weeks and didn't want to be dealing with it. The doctor was a little concerned to prescribe them at first (due to my "advanced age" LOL!) but I don't smoke and it was short term, so he went ahead and prescribed them. A-HA-HA!
