With the stories about data from period tracking apps being shared with law enforcement, I was wondering if there was a self hosted alternative I could host for my daughter. My searches so far have not returned any good results. Thanks!

    But how would that work? I wouldn’t know when my next cycle begins before the current one ends so I’d have to adjust all future entries myself all the time? Or would you not add future periods but then what is the point if you’d just get surprised anyways? And also adding in PMS and evaluation, would you do them as 3 separate calendars? If it’s in the same one doesn’t it get visually confusing?

      To tell you the truth - I don’t bleed from my genitals so I don’t have the solution for you.

      Time between periods should be 24-38 days. If you can’t manage that in a calendar, how can an app know?

        But it’s a different length every time. Like one cycle might be 26 days, the next one 24 and so on. Unless you use a hormonal contraceptive I suppose, but who would want to risk the long term damages that causes.
        The app I currently use can calculate it using the body temperature I enter and adjust the planned dates based on that. I’m pretty lucky to live in a first world country I guess because having to calculate this every day on my own sounds like a pain.

          Damage? What damage?

          Also if you’re not on one you should be. Don’t want to be forced to have some bastard rapists kid.

            Blood clots and cancer, suicidal thoughts and many more. Also I don’t live in a third world country so I would not have to carry that to term anyways.
