Is this normal?

It started to climb and increase, I know I missed a day but surly this can’t be right and it just dropped so low again. I tested yesterday but forgot to record it and it dropped yesterday so I don’t get it. Did I miss my one good day? 🤷‍♀️

Periods

Looking for advice on foods or supplements that people take just before or when on period to feel better . My period this month has been horrible so heavy and cramps. I’m wondering if it’s because of my age I’m almost 38 so could be the peak of my periods . Periods are worse since I had a baby .
