By using the Custom Data feature, you can track any kind of symptom you would like. The chart below shows a pattern in cranky mood and achy breasts during the luteal phase. By using Custom Data, this user was able to track these symptoms and discover that these symptoms only appear during the luteal phase.
What's going on with this chart?
1) Low temperatures and increasingly fertile cervical mucus in the follicular (pre-ovulatory) phase.
2) A sustained rise in temperatures confirm that ovulation occurred (1).
3) After ovulation, crankiness and sore breasts are observed, and the mystery of the achy boobs has been solved! It only happens during the luteal phase (2).
If you have any questions or concerns about your health, speak with your healthcare provider.
