Hi Karl,

Hope you had a good time at the wedding.

Thanks for correcting so quicly the newcycles table. 
I found another problem,: the mdate was not estimated when it's a cycle resulting in a pregancy and on the opposite a mdate has been estimated when it's a resume cycle. In fact, it should be the opposite: because a cycle which results in a pregnancy should start with a mdate, while then resume cycle should not.
I've also noticed that if there is no tdate, the mdate was not estimated. This problem will probably be solved when we will enter the tdate but I just wanted to mention it to you anyway.

Thank you so much for your help.
Laurence
