How to Set Up Floriva for Cycle Syncing
Use Floriva's phase tracking and symptom logs to practice cycle syncing. How to identify your phase, align activities with your biology, and review patterns
What Cycle Syncing Actually Requires Cycle syncing is built on one idea: your hormonal environment changes substantially across the four phases of your cycle, and those changes affect energy, recovery capacity, cognitive style, and physical output. Structuring your activity around those changes rather than against them is the practical application. That requires knowing which phase you're actually in — not which phase a 28 day calendar says you should be in. Floriva gives you a phase display based on your real logged data, which is the foundation the practice needs. Step 1: Log Your Period Dates Accurately Open Floriva and log your period start date on the first day of flow (not spotting). Log your period end date when flow stops. These two entries establish the menstrual phase and give the app the data to calculate cycle length. If you have past period dates — from memory, a previous app, or a paper record — enter them retroactively. Floriva accepts backdated entries. Three cycles of historical period data is enough to calculate a useful average cycle length for phase estimation. Accurate period start dates are the foundation. Every phase calculation downstream depends on them. St
