Yes I was so mad when I learned that antibiotics can mess with your birth control and yet no doctor ever told me that when prescribing them until an ENT I saw about a sinus infection.

I used Clue once I came off birth control and before getting pregnant, specifically because it (says it) doesn’t sell data. It wasn’t bad either. I was really glad I did cause I got pregnant kind of unexpectedly (I thought we’d missed the “fertile window” while travelling but had “fuck it sure we’ll see” sex anyway

Well, then I hope you have a different strategy that works for you. This one works for me and I’ll gladly share my period data with anyone given that it’s about darn time the fact that women have bled monthly since the beginning of time became public knowledge (also I literally only input when I am bleeding, so the

I have to track mine because of numerous health issues realted to my hormones. Plus, my periods were not regular for half my adult life, and even on the pill they are still not entirely regular even now.

I’m someone who has always been suuuper regular (like 28 days to the hour, practically), then I went on birth control for protection and migraine maintenance and didn’t have to think of dates cos it I could look at my pack. And then I had a stroke and had to stop BC. Now I use a tracker to make sure I’m on cycle and

You know not everyone’s period is perfectly regular right? Or even that someone with a regular cycle will always have that? I’ve always have a menstrual cycle that was a little wonky (it shifts between 25 and 30 days) but I didn’t still understand how much being able to have that kind of data might become important

Mine has never ever been regular or predictable. I didn’t know I was pregnant for over 2 months because I just figured I was having a long cycle again. I’ve gone 3months when I wasn’t even having sex, so it didn’t seem weird. So it was always really hard to remember how long it had been or when I might next expect it.

When I traveled for business, it was good to know if I needed to pack supplies. Yes, you can buy them whereever you are. That’s what I did for months at a time, and the next things you know, my linen closet is filled to overflowing with supplies I bought on the road, and I’m on the road buying more.

Period tracking helps assess your adjustment to new medications, especially if you’re switching to a new hormonal birth control. It’s also helpful if/when a problem arises, as it can be a measure of health or a signal of change. Personally, I track mine on a calendar since my birth control has made it more irregular

There are so many hormonal issues that a person can have that f*ck with their periods (including PCOS, endometriosis, amenorrhea - just to name a few). Tracker apps are incredibly helpful because they help you not only predict but also identify patterns or problems in your cycle (I swear I don’t work for an app,

Eh back before apps, I was absolutely shit about tracking my period. I was one of those people who would stare blankly anytime my GP had occasion to ask when my last period was. I started tracking via an app 8 years ago when I inexplicably went 3 months without a period (and definitely wasn’t pregnant).  I know I’m

It’s not that easy for a lot of us. Period tracking means you can make sure you have the supplies when you need them and that you don’t wear your nice new white undies on the wrong day. Also, many women use it for birth control. It’s pretty effective as long as you know what you’re doing.

Seriously? It’s not a hard question. His pin literally says “Time’s Up.”

I’d be on your side if he wasn’t wearing a pin that said “Time’s Up”. Don’t wear a pin supporting a cause if you don’t even know what that cause is. And expect to be asked about it.

What is stopping a woman from falsely accusing you of sexual harassment outside of the workplace? You say you only bond with men in work because you don’t want to risk being falsely accused of something you didn’t do but how does that work for the relationships you want to have with women outside of work? You’re

Then it can become a liabilty for a man and a chance for a woman to get back at the guy (yeah, I know, there are no lying, vengeful women).

Ummm... just try not flirting at work. Simple solution. Men can develop a working relationship/friendship with female colleagues without continual flirtation or attempting to grab someone’s ass or breast. Any man who can’t manage that should, maybe, consider working from home.

Duder, even the people with Asperger’s I know aren’t so socially clueless that they’re worried about being reported to HR. It must be really frustrating to be so terrified of women.

Why can’t you bond with women without flirting with them? That inability may have something to do with you creeping women out.

Like I kind of don’t get it why this is so difficult. Maybe don’t date people at work if you’re so bad at boundaries or reading signals? Maybe only engage in flirting when you’re physically outside your office?
