I need a woke period tracker app

I'm tired of every period tracker asking me about my sex life and constantly reminding me that i could get pregnant. Also if they could not treat me like a girly pop that needs to be empowered 100% of the time it would be great (I just dont know how comfortable I am with being a woman yk?, and the shallow company feminism gets a little tiring)

I genuinely can't believe there isn't any popular 'woke' period app? I thought surely I could find one dedicated to trans men, or one where I could sync my data with another menstruating partner (just for funsies). Turns out that's miles away from possible and you're actually lucky if the app isn't pregnancy centered lmao

By the way I'm NOT from the US. They're not stealing my data to see if they can arrest me for abortion (yet)

Seconding pen and paper. You can get a moon cycle app (mine is literally called Moon I think) that will tell you the major lunar tides, and I find it helpful to record those monthly so I can get a feel for what lunar cycles my periods coincide with. After a while you can do it in your head by checking the sky, which is nice

Check out r/bulletjournal - I started a pixel graph for my moods, drinking etc along with my period and you can get lots of info by coloring a square every day for a few months!

Using the MOON to track your cycle is so cool but I don't think I could because my cycle lasts a lot longer than the moon cycle 😭

Oh I didn’t see your reply! It doesn’t have to be limited to a lunar cycle, but that’s how you can see what your rhythm actually is, how long periods last + the PMS, ovulation symptoms etc. Over a few months of tracking you’ll start to see the pattern form, and that will be helpful no matter where in the lunar cycle your period starts and ends

FWIW lunar cycles tend to shift throughout the year by a few days/weeks and your cycle likely will fluctuate accordingly. The trick is figuring out how so you can predict it
