Would we be subject to the same searches women must endure? Which app should I use?

(3,370 posts)The idea is good and admirable, but it will mess with algorithms on sites who aggregate data for the benefit of users who track their cycles.

A lot of people inputing falss info into an app may cause issues for those using the period tracker as a fertility monitor. Many apps and websites will combine data from multiple charts across the site in order to provide users a chance to see charts like theirs. One such site is Fertility Friend, which has a "see charts like mine" feature. Without getting into all the technical aspects, this tends to be very helpful for those monitoring fertility for pregnancy/avoidance of pregnancy. " Trying to Conceive" and "Trying to Avoid" groups exist in the millions across the internet and chart comparison opportunities on these sites/apps are extremely popular.
Political action at the local and national level is most helpful. Get more men/male-identifying folks to speak up and take action on behalf of all those targeted by these menstrual tracking freaks.
