About Emma Bennett

By Emma Bennett · Cycle tracker and writer · Updated

Hi, I am Emma. I am the person writing the guides on this site, and I want to be upfront about who that makes me. I am not a doctor, a nurse, or any kind of health professional. I am a regular person who got curious about her own body, started tracking her cycle, and ended up learning a great deal along the way.

Everything here comes from that place: real, hands on experience, paired with careful reading, written in plain language for people who are figuring this out just like I did.

Who Is Emma Bennett?

Emma Bennett is the name I write under here, and it is a nickname familiar to my own family and friends rather than my legal name. I am not a doctor or a researcher by training. I am someone who spent years frustrated by generic cycle advice, built a tool to solve that for myself, and eventually decided to share it.

Why I Started Tracking my Cycle?

For years my period felt like something that happened to me rather than something I understood. I was tired of being caught off guard, and I was curious about which days actually mattered if I ever wanted to plan around them.

So I started paying attention, logging my dates, and watching the patterns. The day my cycle stopped feeling random was genuinely a relief.

I use the Luna ovulation calculator myself, mostly to predict my period and to see where I am in my cycle, and that everyday use is what shaped this whole site. I am not writing from a textbook. I am writing from the same routine I follow each month.

How Luna the Tool Came to Be?

For years, tracking my cycle meant a mix of paper notes, apps that never quite fit how I actually think about my body, and a lot of manual math. About a year and a half ago, I decided to build something myself, a simple tool that did the counting for me the way I understood it.

I did not publish it right away. For the first year, I used it privately, entering my own real dates every month and comparing what it predicted against what actually happened. When the estimates were off, I went back and adjusted the logic. This went on for months, small corrections each cycle, until the predictions started lining up consistently with what I was actually experiencing.

After about four months of the tool getting it right, cycle after cycle, I felt comfortable putting it in front of other people. This site and the Luna calculator went live a little over a month ago, built from a year and a half of quiet testing rather than launched straight out of an idea.

How I Research What I Publish?

Personal experience is the heart of what I share, but experience alone is not enough on a health topic, so I am careful about the facts.

Before I publish, I cross check the general information in every article against well regarded health organizations, and I keep my explanations in line with what they say.

I am also someone who keeps reading long after an article is published, through health organization blogs, medical journals when I can access them, and honestly plenty of videos and posts from other people tracking their own cycles.

That ongoing curiosity is what keeps me paying attention to the topic day to day, but it is never a substitute for the sources below when I am actually verifying a fact for something I publish. The sources I lean on most are:

• American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)
• Mayo Clinic
• Cleveland Clinic
• Office on Women’s Health (womenshealth.gov)
• NHS (United Kingdom)

I also try to be honest about the limits of what a calculator or a blog post can do. When something really calls for a professional, I say so plainly rather than pretending a tool can replace one.

What I write about here

This site stays tightly focused on understanding your cycle and your fertility. If you are new here, these are good places to start:

• Signs of ovulation, the body cues that tell you when you are most fertile.
• Menstrual cycle phases, what happens in each part of your cycle.
• Ovulation by cycle length, when you ovulate on a longer or shorter cycle.
• Ovulation with irregular periods, for cycles that do not follow a neat pattern.
• Best time to get pregnant, timing things if you are trying to conceive.
• After ovulation and the two week wait, what unfolds once ovulation has passed.
• Safe days and the rhythm method, an honest look at calendar tracking to avoid pregnancy.
• How is ovulation calculated, the exact math behind every estimate on this site.
• If my period lasts 3 days, when do I ovulate, clearing up a common mix up about what actually decides your timing.

I am not a medical professional

I think it matters to say this clearly rather than bury it. I do not have medical training, and nothing I write is medical advice. What I offer is general education and the perspective of someone who tracks her own cycle and has done the reading.

Your body is yours alone, and a real provider who knows your history can give you guidance that no website ever could. If anything you read here raises a question about your own health, please take it to a professional.

Say hello

If something I wrote helped, or if you spotted something that could be clearer or more accurate, I would honestly love to hear it. Reader notes are how this site keeps getting better, and I read them all.
