Thanks for your question. With respect to keeping a calendar, the biggest difference is how the veset HaFlagah, or interval cycle is calculated. Chabad calculates the veset HaFlagah as the number of half days between when your last period ended, and when the next one begins.
Ashkenazim and Sephardim follow the opinion of the Ramban who holds that the veset HaFlagah is calculated as the interval between when your cycle begins.
For a more thorough explanation, I'd recommend speaking with your Rabbi.

Our calendar is specifically for calculating womens vestos according to Jewish Law (Halacha). The calendar makes use of the Jewish calendar, which is a lunar/solar calendar.
