But, if you want to track your period and don’t want to literally count the days, there are lots of other ways to do it, and one efficient way is to use period tracker apps!

Many of these period tracker apps don’t only track when your period is due, but also can track your ovulation and fertility cycles (which is handy if you are TTC!), your hormonal symptoms plus other health insights. They are also very useful for if your period suddenly goes haywire, because you can log your periods and symptoms to share with your doctor.

2. Clue

Clue is an app that’s recommended by several obstetricians and gynecologists. Its approach is straightforward and scientific, making it all based on facts alone.

It gives accurate tracking, making it reliable.
