Two women laughing together in a relaxed home setting

Cycles and Pregnancy

From first cycle to first years.

Cycles, pregnancy, birth and the years after, in one record.

This program carries cycle and fertility support, pregnancy and birth, postpartum recovery and early childhood in one story you control, with qualified clinical care central to every decision.

Published reference

A cycle described in clinical terms.

These figures describe the published FIGO reference, not outcomes produced by Shiora.

Program architecture

Three pathways. One reproductive and maternal continuum.

Each pathway has a defined clinical purpose. Together, they preserve context across the transitions where fragmented services most often lose it.

Cycle and fertility

Know your pattern

Brings cycle history, symptoms, basal temperature, ovulation information and available wearable signals into one record, supporting pattern recognition and better prepared fertility or gynaecological conversations.

Cycle intelligence

Pregnancy and birth

Week by week, together

Connects week-by-week guidance, symptom records, appointment preparation, pregnancy tools and permission-controlled partner updates with ongoing professional prenatal care.

Maternity

Postpartum and early childhood

Birth to age five

Carries pregnancy and birth context into postpartum recovery, mental-health screening, feeding support and age-based developmental milestones for the early years.

Early family health

The program in practice

What Cycles and Pregnancy does with the record.

The useful output is a legible timeline, not another disconnected log.

What you see

A continuous view across cycle, pregnancy and early family health.

Recorded dates, symptoms and stage-relevant information appear in sequence, with their source visible. A selected summary can prepare a consultation. When the record is incomplete or a criterion does not apply, Cycles and Pregnancy should say so rather than infer an answer.

Clear output

Worked example

Illustrative record: Leila, with simulated information.

Leila records cycle dates and symptoms in the cycle pathway. During pregnancy, the relevant dates carry into her appointment view. After birth, pregnancy and birth context stays beside her recovery check-ins. Her clinician receives only the information Leila chooses to share, and no stage in the timeline is presented as a diagnosis.

Simulated example

What it needs from you

Dates and context that are easiest to capture as events happen.

Cycle start and end dates, flow and symptoms establish the reproductive timeline. Pregnancy, birth, recovery and early-family information can be added when relevant. Connected signals are optional, and professional records remain attributable to their clinical source.

Member controlled

How it connects

Cycles and Pregnancy supplies context to the other five programs with permission.

Mind and Mood can read cycle and perinatal context beside repeated mental-health measures. Intimate Health can keep postpartum and pelvic-health change in sequence. Menopause and Midlife can use earlier cycle dates as a baseline. Prevention and Vitality can retain reproductive milestones for later prevention, while Specialist Care can place fertility treatment beside the cycle history that preceded it.

One record

Published criteria

Four dimensions. One traceable description.

FIGO System 1 describes the bleeding pattern. It does not claim to identify the cause.

Frequency

How often bleeding episodes begin.

Cycles and Pregnancy uses recorded start dates to describe the spacing between cycles against the published reference.

Recorded dates

Regularity

How much cycle length varies over time.

A series of cycles is more informative than a single month because regularity is a pattern across repeated observations.

Longitudinal

Duration

How many days each bleeding episode lasts.

Start and end dates support a consistent description that can be reviewed over time.

Measured

Volume

The person's experience of how heavy the bleeding is.

Flow information remains part of the record beside dates, symptoms and severity.

Person reported

The connected record

Continuity becomes an operating capability.

Cycles and Pregnancy is designed around one permission-led longitudinal record, allowing relevant context to remain available as a member moves from one pathway to the next.

  • Period start and end dates establish the time sequence.
  • Flow, symptoms and severity add lived context to the dates.
  • Symptom timing is expressed as a rate within each cycle phase, so a longer phase does not appear busier simply because it lasted longer.
  • Relevant cycle context can support pregnancy tracking, while pregnancy and birth context can establish a more informed baseline for postpartum recovery.

Program boundary

A description is not a diagnosis.

FIGO AUB System 1 provides a consistent vocabulary for bleeding symptoms. Identifying a cause may require clinical history, examination, pregnancy assessment, laboratory testing or imaging. Cycles and Pregnancy does not replace that evaluation.

Unexpected, severe or rapidly changing bleeding should be discussed with an appropriate clinician. Seek urgent local care when symptoms feel emergent.

Pathway questions

Cycles and Pregnancy FAQs.

Detailed answers for all three pathways, including scope, continuity, permissions and the point at which professional care takes precedence.

Cycle and fertility

How does Shiora adapt to irregular cycles?

Sana works from your recorded pattern rather than assuming every cycle lasts 28 days. It can make changes easier to see, but it does not diagnose the reason for an irregular cycle.

What information helps refine cycle estimates?

Consistent cycle dates, symptoms and available connected signals such as basal body temperature or ovulation-test information can provide more context. Estimate quality still varies from person to person.

Which wearables and fertility devices can connect?

Cycles and Pregnancy supports available connections with products such as Apple Watch, Fitbit, Oura Ring, WHOOP, Garmin, Tempdrop and compatible basal-temperature or ovulation devices. Availability varies by device, region and integration status.

Can I use cycle tracking if I am not trying to conceive?

Yes. It can support cycle understanding, symptom correlation and reproductive-health conversations regardless of fertility goals.

How does this connect with fertility treatment?

Relevant cycle information can connect with Specialist Care pathways for IVF support and egg-freezing coordination, subject to permission and local availability.

Does my cycle history carry into pregnancy?

With permission, cycle history can support pregnancy timing and due-date context while remaining part of the same Shiora record.

Pregnancy and birth

Can Shiora detect pregnancy complications?

Shiora can identify recorded patterns that may warrant clinical evaluation, including patterns associated with preeclampsia, gestational diabetes or preterm labour risk. It does not diagnose a complication or replace prenatal care.

What does week-by-week tracking include?

The pregnancy pathway brings development guidance, appointment preparation, symptoms, reminders and pregnancy milestones into a stage-relevant weekly view.

How should I respond to an alert?

Follow the guidance shown and contact the appropriate prenatal-care professional. If symptoms are severe or an emergency is possible, contact local emergency services immediately.

Can a partner access pregnancy updates?

Yes. The member can grant access to selected weekly updates, appointment reminders and development milestones. Personal information is not automatically shared.

How does earlier cycle history support pregnancy timing?

With permission, relevant cycle history can support pregnancy timing and due-date context.

How does pregnancy information support what comes after?

Relevant pregnancy and birth information can establish your starting point for postpartum recovery while preserving continuity in the Shiora record.

Postpartum and early childhood

How does Shiora support postpartum mental health?

The pathway includes regular check-ins and validated screening tools such as the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. When answers indicate concern, it can connect you with qualified care and ongoing support through Mind and Mood.

Is a postpartum screening result a diagnosis?

No. A screening result helps identify when professional assessment may be appropriate. Diagnosis and treatment remain with qualified mental-health or maternity professionals.

What child-development milestones does Shiora track?

It follows age-based motor, language, social-emotional and cognitive milestones from birth to age five, informed by CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics guidance.

How is lactation and feeding supported?

The pathway combines feeding logs, practical lactation guidance and connections to qualified lactation or paediatric support.

Can pregnancy details inform recovery tracking?

Relevant pregnancy and birth information can establish useful context for postpartum recovery, subject to your permission.

What should I do if a milestone concern appears?

Discuss the concern with a paediatric clinician. A milestone alert is informational and cannot diagnose a developmental condition.

Is postpartum intimacy support available?

Intimate Health can provide private education and preparation around physical recovery, desire, pain, body image and relationship changes after birth.
