Keeping things private is fine, but we are asking for ANY example (just one!) of this data actually being used, or attempted to be used, by the gov to accuse someone of an illegal abortion. No one seems able to produce such an example.

No one is getting indited for an illegal abortion because they stopped logging in their periods in their app. It isn’t good evidence of anything or for anything. Chill out

Yea, I know the arguments about roe and whatnot, and if we get there we can stop tracking using the apps, but right now we aren’t there yet, and I appreciate the “period due in 2 days” notifications and so do my daughters.


Absolutely are there in red states.

Wake up and pay attention


Have there been examples of women arrested based on the government hacking into their period tracking app? Can you please share a link to the story?


Missouri and Texas and Louisiana


Link to the actual news stories? I searched online and can find nothing, just people concerned that it *could* happen.


Fake news. Arrested for what? Using an app does not you had an abortion, or may have had an abortion, in the slightest.


I know. But people on this thread are freaking out that no one should use the apps because this will happen if they do.

I would like her to start tracking it herself, and an app would hopefully send her a reminder in the days before so she can double check herself. She has severe ADHD and I’m trying to teach her strategies to set reminders for things, so an app is what I’m looking for advice on now.


And the majority of posters are telling you to reconsider that approach. Maybe you won’t heed that advice but others reading this may. We really have become far too comfortable (lazy?) about where we store sensitive personal information and it will have repercussions.

I have my daughter just put a mark on her iPhone calendar. Especially now, you never know where that data is going and who it’s shared with.

She needs to show you that it is restocked. And set a day on your calendar that is pouch restock day without fail.

Some of us have irregular periods, ma’am. I’ve had cycles as short as 26 days and as long as 60 days.


So does my sister. The apps are useless for you. Ovulation predictor kits and basal temp charting are more useful.

ADHD 12 year old who is new to this and struggles to remember to restock her locker/backpack.


OMG hell no.

What do you not understand about the current GOP?

Do not do this!!!!!!

How do you even not know that this is a horrifyingly bad idea?


Yep. Everyone I know who menstruates stopped using them. No one wanted to be asked to account for a skipped period because we live in an authoritarian regime obsessed with controlling women’s bodies.

Young girls and women in peri especially need to go back to using codes in a small notebook.

Same and I use apple health app to track. Some months I just don’t track because I forget. Where are the abortion police at my door?
