Tracked by who? What’s the context you’re asking about here?
I’ve literally never been in a situation like this. Or know anyone this happened to
My boyfriend tracks mine, I just think he likes to be informed, I see no issue. I’m pretty regular, talk about it normally, and my moods are very obvious so he doesn’t need it to know where I am in my cycle. I think he just likes to know for future reference, like will I be on my period when we go on holiday or have something stressful coming up
If it’s a boyfriend or hubby and he does something useful with it like grabs extra snacks for me, great. If it just gets thrown back in my face, it’s a problem. If it’s a random friend or coworker or whatever, it’s a line crossed.
My roomies and I track each other’s periods for fun to see if we sync up.
if its conensual and with good intentions ..awesome! sweet. endearing. If its a guy who is tracking his gfs period so he can control her? Awful. bad. Disgusting.
I have a very very irregular period. Yet my last partner still made an effort to track it. It stressed him out in the beginning because he wasn’t used to it (past partners were regular I guess). He learned the other signs, such as my mood, emotions and physical body. I found it endearing (only after he stopped being annoying and got accustomed to my irregularity)
My exes all paid attention to mine. It is both odd and not odd. I’ve actually never dated a man that didn’t my know mine.
I didn’t care much except if they would be really ride and then tell me it’s hormones when I got upset they were being a sack of shit.
Like tracked by somebody else? Because I’ve been tracking my own period for many many years lol and I feel absolutely no emotions about it whatsoever
I track my own. I’m on the pill, so it’s to make sure I get my withdrawal bleed every 28 days like I should. Before that my periods were 84 to 177 days apart
I say good job fitness tracker.
What? No one else tracks my period and I don’t want them to. When I was a teen, I would’ve been horrified if my mum did. Invasion of privacy at an age you’re meant to be separating from your parents somewhat. As an adult, I’d be weirded out if my ex-husband had or my fiancé did currently. If I’m experiencing physical/emotional symptoms related to my cycle and they were affecting me a lot, I’d just tell a partner. If we were trying for a baby, I’d let them know when was a good time. I don’t need the men in my life monitoring my bodily functions. And besides a parent or partner, I don’t know who else in my life would ever have any relevant reason to even think of my menstrual cycle.
My first serious bf in my 20s kept track and I didn’t even know until we’d been together for years. I thought it was sweet that he was so attentive.
You mean by someone else? I’m confused what kind of situation you’re meaning.
I track my own period, but my husband occasionally kept up with it with me. Worked for 6 years. We never got pregnant. Miraculously
