It’s because they know when you’re pregnant and can’t put you in jail if you decide to get an abortion.

@@swankyangeloUnless you mark in the app that you‘re pregnant, there are many reasons why you don‘t input a period in an app or why you don‘t even get a period. Nobody is going to dig that deep.

That’s not the best logic. Women have miscarriages all the time. 1 in 5 pregnancies end in miscarriage. Getting your period when you were previously pregnant is NOT proof of an abortion. There are many reasons to miss your period as well that don’t include being pregnant. Like being on hormonal birth control or getting an iud. Even PCOS and Endo can cause irregular cycles. Personally breastfeeding stops mine. So it doesn’t make sense to say any info from a period app means anything

@swankyangelo I've forgotten to update my period days on the app for years now. So far, no government officials had knocked on my door to ask about my "aborted" child yet. As a government official myself, I can promise u the government bodies are so underfunded and overworked to give a damn about what you do on EVERY period tracker on the market. Sorry, it's such a stupid assumption.

@@imsorrybut- I’m sorry but, you clearly aren’t a government worker who’s in “the need to know” category. Just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean something isn’t under consideration by the gov. You just don’t understand their data collection whys and wherefores. It does seem so innocuous in our realm of everyday but as a collective the info gleaned gages their end goal info in projects that we’ll never know about. Say if a majority of young gals end up with 15 day cycles, to you, no biggy, to them something that was given unknowingly is now being assessed as working because perhaps the goal was ovulation suppression. But they should let you know as a government worker what they are doing, got it!

Same. Its always explained for regular 28 day cycle 🙄

@@nivesraznjevic2563 sometimes I don’t get it for three months, sometimes I bleed for 56 days. PCOS is a biatch

🥲 same

Same 😂😂😂

Actually she was wrong its a 27 day cycle. 28 day would start on the 29th.

Yes! This book is so good!

The book is amazing!

They can but KZfaq removed the link ability

or, hear me out: 🔊 you can click the magnifying glass on this screen and type "Alirodmd how to track your cycle" and its the first one. that's not too hard, eh? 😂 besides that and I will say, she didn't bother since her topic isn't broad and unnecessary in such instances - the three dots at the top right leads to "description" and typically that can lead you to specific wording to search in the app( if you cant decide which key words to type .. + the OPs username. seriously works like a charm, friends. good luck out here 🙂

​@@Notiravgsarah fuckin KZfaq per usual 🙄 hey KZfaq... git yer chit together plz.... PS... if anyone needs good YT tips & tricks for their channel & Mods & such tag me & I'll note em here happily.... that is IF yt ACTUALLY friggin notifies meh 😒🙄🤬😮‍💨 & GBY 🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻

"Can we do that" no, because KZfaq removed the ability to add links MONTHS AGO 🙃

Well according to her it has something to do with the economy. 🤦🏻‍♀️

It has something to do with the abortion ban laws etc

@@AyeshaBegum-vb9jc they can’t prove anything with that, but I get it a little more now.

Could use it as proof that you were pregnant and terminated it in states where that’s illegal now

@@Dkclyrd how though? Me not getting a period does not necessarily prove I was ever pregnant. It would be kinda stupid to do. We can literally say we didn’t get a period due to a hormonal imbalance. Eff the government.

Yes. To add some details, pregnancy counts from the first day of your last period not the missed one. If an average cycle is 28 days: days 1-5 are bleeding, then another 7-9 days before ovulation around day 14 of the cycle. Sometime plus or minus a few days is when intimacy would allow for fertilization. Somewhere within 48-72hours after intimacy (cycle day: 16-17 in this example) fertilization takes place and then another 3 days or so implantation (around day 20). This is when pregnancy hormones start kicking in to prevent new cycle. Those are the hormones the pregnancy tests are supposed to detect potentially up to 3 days before or any time after the missed cycle. This is approximately days 24-35 (3.5-4.5 weeks) from when your last period started. Pregnancy count would be that you are 4-5 weeks pregnant at the time one could find out (but implantation and shifts in hormones only occurred at week 3.5-4). Not to get political, but states that have a 6 week time limit for abortion may only have 5-10 business days to seek medical care, confirm testing, discuss options and make a decision. That’s nearly impossible when appointments are booked solid for months or if someone has no or minimal healthcare.

I knew my conception date and knew I had uneven periods so essentially lied to my doctor. I ended up giving birth exactly on the due date I calculated myself at 40 weeks. 😂

@@cd2290that’s the whole point of a 6-week ban. Abortion is never “care.”

​@@cappylover192 Tell that to the women who need an abortion because their fetus died inside of them.

@@lolasonne1772 that is not an abortion. An abortion is specifically the procedure to kill the living fetus.

That’s what the subtitles buttons and settings are for hun.

@@Ididurmom422not everyone has the option, i don’t

@@Ididurmom422Sometimes subtitles are not available or are extremely inaccurate in words or timing!

@@Ididurmom422I’m deaf and the subtitles are almost never right. At least I think so because if they are correct then all the influencers must speak fluent gibberish.😂

@@Lexi-9611 as a deaf person with captions on for this video, it’s not gibberish, and when cc messes up don’t downplay how smart we are, we can use context clues the same way anyone else would.

Have you seen a doctor about that?

How old are you x

Go see a gyno

if you’re in a place where roe v wade is overturned they may be

​@@sillylittlejennIf you are sexually responsible knowing that all forms of contraception have a failure rate, you wouldn't worry about that.

​@@skeinofadifferentcolor2090oh yes! Of course a 12-13 yr old (sometimes younger) should remember this info when they've never dated, and end up r*ped and pregnant. They definitely shouldn't be allowed to use an app to track their cycle. Glad your world is all idealistic and sunshine, but the rest of us live in reality.

@@skeinofadifferentcolor2090some people are in relationships and don’t want children so?

​@@skeinofadifferentcolor2090well you still should be if you end up having a miscarriage and need a d&c or something else is horribly wrong. Those states dont care if you die. They have a narrative to spew.

Between 22-35 days. First few years for me was 25-38. If your cycle is under 21, repeatedly talk to your doctor. It’s also common to skip months for no reason

Pain is subjective.

@@listay1to a certain extent, there is base level pain, and pain can be calculated doing different tests, it’s just that usually when they ask you, the pain can be easily resolved.

5 days is average I believe, but it can be as short as 2-3 days or as long as 7-8 days. Average cycle length is 28 days, but can be a few days shorter or longer, and can vary from month to month, especially if you’re in the first few years of getting your period. Ovulation is 14 days before your period starts. Pain shouldn’t stop you from being able to do any activities, e.g. going to school/work or going out of the house. If it does I would suggest seeing a doctor, they may be able to give you pain medication, and if you have painful/heavy periods you should look into the pill or other forms of hormonal birth control to help manage it.

@@natashawalters3734 do you know why skipping is common? after 11 y of consistent cycles I randomly skipped a cycle with no changes to my lifestyle and habits. My doctors keep saying it’s normal???

And 4 days bleeding too

I was just thinking the same. If the day 28 your period comes again, then it's day 1 of your next cycle, so your last cycle lasted until the day before, 27 days. Isn't that how it works?

Correct. This is an example of a 27-day cycle.

Yes, it is 27 days.

I agree, this was never clearly explained to me either.

It's even worse for those of us with PCOS. Literally 21 days of nonstop bleeding. It finally stops and 17 days later it starts AGAIN. 12 days in and STILL bleeding. And no damn way you can calculate ovulation when it doesn't f**ing stop or it stops and starts intermittently.

Bleeding, not spotting. Day 1 is 1st day of bleeding. And ending is last day of bleeding, spotting doesn’t count.

The moment there is blood is your period. It doesn't matter how much blood is there. That's day 1 of your period.

@@AnnabellaRedwood you are absolutely incorrect. I am an OBGYN nurse. I know what I’m talking about. Spotting does NOT count as your period. Day 1 is bleeding, NOT spotting.

same

Potentially lock you away. In a worst case scenario, having an illegal abortion or even having a miscarriage could land you in jail. It's really hard to prove you didn't intentionally abort.

Have you already discovered the cause? Because if no you better get that checked. Can be PCOS, Endometriosis,…

@@helenageerts2115 No I haven’t. I noticed in the past when I would exercise regularly and eat whole foods, I would get my period. But because I was on birth control for a year and my eating habits got bad, I’m overweight now. So I’m focusing on that, but if it’s not better by then, then I’ll consider talking to my provider. Thank you though. I just believe food is medicine so I want to focus on that.

@@mandyv.3458I can understand, and yeah taking the pill can mess up your cycle for up to a year after you stopped taking it… good luck!

​@@helenageerts2115if she's on birth control it's not unusual

True it's 27 days

🎉🎉🎉🎉 Exactly! I was looking for this comment

I can't believe how many women out here are so stupid that they think what she's saying is actually true. Like ... Wake up... Look around you. It's just not true.

The government is tracking periods. I’m sure that’s the least of their concerns. Don’t believe everything you see on the internet and learn to think critically.

I just use an app, it sends me an alert when my period is supposed to happen in about a week or so. It's very helpful, I usually forget all about it when not currently bleeding.

Which is why you do not rely on the public school/government to raise and teach your children. Well. One of many reasons.

@@fiercecoffee1634 absolutely

Literally!! My periods are so irregular that I could never track anything lmao

​@@jennamarie7147 lmao I can relate 🤣😅

This is me😂

I'm finding rather ridiculous myself. I can't imagine what it would be like to be any kind of law enforcement or government agent and be assigned to combing through period tracker data.

Came here to say that. I also don’t know how i feel about a doctor who thinks the govt is going to track my cycle if I use an app 🙄

​@@GillyFromPhillythere are states so anti-abortion they will hunt you down if they think you left the state to terminate. Imagine going out clubbing but your tracker shows you're 2 days late. Now, you should've known you might be pregnant and that fetus's health is more important than yours...

Same! I’m scanning comments looking for information about why and how my period tracking app is bad?

I bleed for three :-)

Nothing

I'm not 100% if this is what she meant but I remember reading somewhere how in places where abortion is illegal, if you did somehow get an abortion and if there's anything suspicious about your period cycle in the app, the information can be used against you. There's possibly other reasons idk but this is the one I could think of

There is no actual correlation between dates of menstruation and abortion. It might be some illness or hormonal problems or weight loss or whatever. Despite marketing there is no way you might be in danger. But it easily can be solved with critical thinking so its more a paranoia @@peachysoda8584

Some Americans are having a meltdown since the supreme court put abortion policymaking back into the jurisdiction of the states rather than regulating it at a federal level. Not that anyone should ever particularly trust the government, but their fears that Big Brother is going to digitally spy on women to force them to have unwanted babies is completely unfounded. If there's a reason not to use apps, it's that they repeatedly have data breaches. That is, if theyre not already openly selling your personal information.

​@@peachysoda8584no it will not. Pcos, stress, forgetting to log it, miscarriages, pre menopauze ... lot's of reasons a period is missed. They won't go checking millions of apps to look if they have to arrest you 😂

And directly after you finished doing that, that you can take your schizophrenia medication.

@@louisacapell huh? Sounds like you don’t understand the words you’re using. Next time use a dictionary bc you’re not making sense

@@Tayloraurrekoetxea sorry, my phone auto corrected. If you are downloading various cycle tracking apps, and putting fake menstrual dates and info in them , to " throw the government off your trail" that is a absolutely unhinged.

@rms5993 not really how it works for most people actually, but I’m sure somebody out there is lucky enough for it to be as simple as that

Then don't do it 😊

Came here to say the same thing. It was driving me crazy.
