1. Not a medical device

FlowState is for general information and personal record-keeping only. It is not a medical device and it does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. Always seek the advice of a doctor, nurse, midwife or other qualified health worker with any questions about your health.

2. Predictions are estimates

Period, fertile window, ovulation and due date predictions are calculated from the dates and information you enter and from population averages. Every body is different: cycles change with stress, illness, travel, weight change, breastfeeding, contraception, age and many other factors. Predictions may be wrong by several days.

3. Not contraception

Do not use the app, including its fertile window, ovulation test or temperature features, to prevent pregnancy. Pregnancy is possible on any day of the cycle, and sperm can survive up to five days. Speak to a health worker about reliable contraception.

4. Trying to conceive

Ovulation detection from tests and temperature confirms patterns after they happen and depends on correct testing. Fertility features cannot guarantee pregnancy. If you are under 35 and have not conceived after 12 months of trying (6 months if 35 or older), or if you have irregular periods, see a health worker.

5. Pregnancy and after birth

Pregnancy week, baby size and due date are estimates. They do not replace antenatal or postnatal care. Attend your clinic visits. Go to a health facility immediately if you have vaginal bleeding in pregnancy, severe headache or blurred vision, fever, severe abdominal pain, swelling of the face or hands, reduced baby movements, heavy bleeding after birth, or thoughts of harming yourself or your baby.

6. Health check

The health check is a set of screening questions, not a test. A result that shows "no strong signs" does not rule out a condition, and a flagged result is not a diagnosis. Only a health worker can diagnose conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis or anaemia.

7. Articles

Articles in the app give general information that may not fit your situation. They are reviewed for accuracy but may not reflect the latest medical research. They are not a substitute for personal medical advice.

8. When to see a health worker

Contact a health worker if you have: very heavy bleeding (soaking a pad every hour or two), periods lasting more than 7 days, severe pain, bleeding between periods or after sex, no period for 3 months without pregnancy, bleeding after menopause, unusual discharge with itching or a bad smell, or any symptom that worries you.

9. Emergencies

The app cannot respond to emergencies. If you think you may have a medical emergency, go to the nearest health facility or call your local emergency number immediately.
