    Bodies don’t have a set schedule for things. An AFAB body is supposed to routinely ovulate and have a period, but lots of things can disrupt that and cause things to happen early or not at all or delayed. Tracking becomes important for a lot of medical reasons, but a common situation in which it’s important to track is for conceiving. And yes privacy is a huge risk with using an app to track, and with how the government in the US is currently talking about punishing women for not conceiving or having miscarriages etc

      The menstrual cycle is extremely complicated. Somewhere in my storage boxes there’s an entire page of each different hormone that are all dependent on each other via negative/positive feedback loops. It’s crazy complicated and it’s a wonder there’s a schedule at all.

        I have a friend whose cycle is consistently 28 days long, and she can predict it down to a few hour window. I think she’s a witch.
