My Monitor did not display an 'O' Symbol this monthly cycle. What does this mean?
I am having lots of 'Red' Days. Is this normal?
If I have a cycle shorter than 23 days or longer than 35 days, what should I do?
Can I have sex during my Testing Window before checking the Monitor?
What if my period is early or late?
Do I really have to abstain from sex on all 'Red' Days?


It is quite normal for the Monitor not to display the 'O' Symbol in some cycles. This is to be expected and will not affect the contraceptive advice from your Monitor. The absence of the 'O' Symbol does not mean that you are infertile or that you cannot become pregnant, so you must follow the advice of the Red Lights and abstain from sex. For more information you can call the PERSONA Line.



During the first few cycles of use you should expect to have more 'Red' Days while PERSONA learns about your cycle. From then on, PERSONA will typically identify 6 to 12 'Red' Days each cycle. However, all women are different, and the number will vary from one cycle to another. Women with irregular cycles, for example, will probably have more 'Red' Days. To minimise the number of 'Red' Days you have, you must follow the User Guide very carefully and pay special attention to testing. Make sure that you check your Monitor every morning and do every test requested correctly. This will ensure that your Monitor gains all the information it needs to identify your 'Green' Days and 'Red' Days. Please contact the PERSONA Line for further advice.



PERSONA is designed to accommodate normal variations in cycle length as long as your cycles fall within the range of 23-35 days. If you have a cycle shorter than 23 days or longer than 35 days the reliability of PERSONA could be reduced, please call the PERSONA Line for advice.



The contraceptive advice PERSONA gives each day, (a Green or Red Light), is valid until the end of your Testing Window the next day. However you will probably want to check your Monitor before you have sex, and follow the new advice.



Don't worry if your cycle varies in length by a few days from one month to the next, as long as it is still within the 23-35 days range. If your period is early you can still press the 'm' Button even if the 'm' Symbol is not flashing on the Display Screen. If your period is late the 'm' Symbol will continue to flash until you set the 'm ' Button at the start of your next cycle. If in any doubt please contact the PERSONA Line.



The reliability of PERSONA is dependent on abstinence on all 'Red' Days. If you do choose to have sex on a 'Red' Day, even if you do use an alternative method of contraception, the risk of pregnancy is considerably greater than if you abstain from sex.
