Period tracking apps: Do they really help you understand your menstrual cycle?

Nowadays, the use of period tracking apps is increasing rapidly. Millions of women around the world are using these apps to understand their menstrual cycle (period) better and keep an eye on reproductive health. But the question is whether these apps help us understand our menstrual cycle correctly or not?

Period tracking apps ask users for a lot of personal information, including the dates of your menstrual cycle, sexual activity, mood, and physical symptoms (such as cramps or bloating). These apps collect this data and use algorithms to predict when your next period will come, when ovulation will occur, and which days are most likely to be fertile.

Are these apps accurate?

Although period tracker apps give important information to users, their accuracy has been questioned. Most apps make predictions based only on the days of the menstrual cycle, which can vary for every woman. According to research, only 13 to 16 percent of women have a menstrual cycle of 28 days, and only 13% of women ovulate on the 14th day. That is, most women have different cycles, which can limit the accuracy of these apps.

Which apps are better?

Some apps incorporate biometric data such as body temperature, cervical mucus, and hormone levels in urine, which can help increase the accuracy of ovulation predictions. However, many apps make predictions based only on the calendar and do not use biometric data, which can reduce their accuracy.
