I built this because
no one else had.
For fifteen years I worked as a senior lawyer at ASX-listed tech companies. I was the person who built systems for complex problems for a living. I was good at it. And for fifteen years, once a month, I was completely non-functional and I had no system at all.
I knew what phase I was in. I'd read the research. I'd downloaded every app. None of it told me what to actually do on the day — in the real world, where I had a calendar full of things that expected me to show up.
- I cancelled meetings with no script for why, and then spent energy managing the fallout
- I made food decisions when I was already in pain, and almost always got them wrong
- I went to GP appointments with no data and left feeling dismissed and unheard
- I started from scratch every single month, as if the last one had never happened
The thing that changed everything wasn't a new supplement or a new app. It was having a plan already decided before Day 1 arrived.
So I built one. A proper, structured protocol — what I eat, what I take, when I take it, what I say, who I tell, and how I document it so my GP can actually use the information. Six pillars. Six quick wins. An interactive app that lives on my phone and a PDF guide I can print — both there, ready, on any Day 1.
I then built LuneaPMS around it — because I knew I wasn't the only one who needed this. The First Day Period Rescue Kit is the thing I wish I'd had a decade ago. It takes 45 minutes to build. It installs to your phone, works offline, and changes every cycle after.
- You don't need more information — you need a pre-built plan you can execute in the worst moments
- The women who manage Day 1 well have simply decided, in advance, what they're going to do
- 45 minutes of setup now is worth years of not starting from zero
