The team behind menstrual health and period tracking app Clue has said it will not disclose users' data to American authorities, following Donald Trump's reelection.

The message comes in response to concerns that during Trump's second presidency, abortion bans that followed the overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022 will worsen and states will attempt to increase menstrual surveillance in order to further restrict access to terminations.

I'm a male, but I am married to someone who has periods. And yeah, they're not textbook, but they're generally within a couple days. We can both tell when it's about to happen because my SO's hormones start going crazy (alternate between angry over small things and affectionate), and like clockwork, the menstrual cycle happens about 2 days later.

But yeah, it's generally about every 4 weeks, give or take a few days. It used to be all over the place, but now that she's been better about exercise and diet, it's a lot more consistent.

Oh that sounds really nice, in that case you really don't need to use a period app. I have to enter my temperature, cervix condition and (I don't know the English word for it but you know,) the 'slime' condition. Sometimes it's 6 weeks, sometimes it's 3, the app helps a lot but sometimes it's still off.
