Last Dry Day Rule

[Nonya]

I've been using your app since 2011.  It is mostly fantastic.  I have one major gripe, though, and it's making me consider abandoning this app for a different one.  Why do you require 6 cycles with CM events lasting more than 5 day to use the Last Dry Day rule?  This appears to serve no purpose.  It makes the predictions less conservative and less accurate.  I've been charting off and on (mostly on) for 10 years using the symptothermal method, and the first CM event should be considered sufficient to start phase 2 for TTA purposes, regardless of previous cycles.  The 4/5/6 rule is useless for me and I prefer not to go calendar-based anyway, so I have it and 21/20 turned off.  The app appears to not recognize CM events as lasting for five days unless they progress in the expected order.  Mine don't always, which means the app is telling me that I am in phase 1 until I ovulate and then it retroactively puts me in phase 2.  This is not useful.  It would be more conservative and in keeping with the symptothermal method for phase 2 to start with the appearance of CM regardless of previous cycles.

I spent this evening modifying data to try and get it to recognize 6 of my 16 fully filled-in cycles as having CM events lasting at least 5 days.  All 16 of those cycles cycles do.  It wouldn't recognize even 6 after extensive modification to make the progression more standard, and I'm beyond frustrated.  I would request that you turn off the requirements for the Last Dry Day Rule.  I have pro, if it matters to how the methods work.

Thank you in advance,
