Sorry for the delay in response on this last issue. Does the assignment
to cycle suggestion mean that alternate days could end up being assigned
to DIFFERENT CYCLES depending on whether they are a zero or, say, a one?
If so, NO, that would be too weird. Why wouldn't we want any sex skin
measurements after a birth to be assigned to the NEXT cycle, not the
conception one?
