Today, I was showing the guy I like something on my phone. My period tracking app decided it was the perfect time to tell me that I need to stock up on tampons, because I'm getting my period tomorrow. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Same thing different taste
RED ALERT
Today, I went on a first date. We had the same phone, and we'd put them down next to each other on the table. I get a message and we both look. It’s my period tracker telling me to be careful, because the floodgates are opening. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me to start using a period tracker app so I can tell him which week of each month he needs to "stay the hell away" from me. FML
Big red flag
Today, my boyfriend is threatening to dump me if I don’t give him all the details of my menstruation so he can track my periods with an app on his phone. FML
Today, the moment after hitting "confirm payment" for my boyfriend's valentine gift (along with some sexy lingerie for the occasion) on a shopping app, my period tracker app popped up to let me know I'll be well into my period on the 14th. I'm getting cockblocked by mother nature herself. FML
Freak out
Today, my boyfriend flipped out when he saw a period tracker app on my phone. According to him, chicks only use those when they want to know when they’re the most fertile so they can “baby trap” a man. I have irregular cycles. The app helps me know when I should or shouldn’t expect a period. FML
There's an app for everything
Today, my boyfriend told me that he could predict my periods because he keeps track of when I'm at my bitchiest each month. This wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't so accurate. FML
Help! I need somebody!
Today, I woke up to realize I got my period a week early. The day of the after-wedding brunch. In a sort of remote area. Without pads or tampons. I need to be at the breakfast in a half-hour. FML
Senpai Noticed
Today, my period started. It wouldn't be a big deal if it hadn't happened while I was in my karate class practicing kicks, and if the guy I have a crush on hadn't informed me of it after chuckling. FML
Today, I realized I'm getting my period pretty soon. How? I started crying and throwing plates because I thought we were out of sweet bread. FML
Today, while I was at my boyfriend's house, I got my period. About an hour after I told him, he impatiently said, "Is it over yet?" FML

At least he now knows when he has to take his chance to ask you out, and when not to ;)

You track your period???
hope27 15
A lot of girls do actually, it's really helpful. Especially if you're irregular, or ya know don't wanna get pregnant.
Shannon98 16
It's good to track, it prevents you from starting without being prepared
MrsPegg 45
I keep up with mine so I know if Im late or not. Dont want to have an uh-oh moment.
asherm 15
Or for people who DO want to get pregnant- tracks ovulation too. "Get freaky.....now"
icnburbbygrl 23
Always a good idea to stock up!
Getty95 13
I don't see how that's so bad...all women get it, we shouldn't be embarrassed or anything...that's just my opinion
SmokinGuns 13
Yeah, I think it's about time we accept that menstrual cycles are completely normal and EVERY woman has them, mothers and sisters. If anything it's irregular to NOT have one. That would mean infertility.
dgameseeker 12
That or pregnant...depends on if you meant to never have them or not have them for a long period of time.

It's not shameful for someone to be infertile. People have periods; we shouldn't have to frame them as family members of some assumed male to make us sympathize with their troubles.

As embarrassing as it must have been I bet the guy didn't even care. I mean all females get periods and guys know that. Don't sweat it op :)
ryanthecheeseguy 18
I dunno. Most guys and myself can agree that we'd be a little weirded out.
Sheh_fml 25
Then maybe you should take an extra minute to think about why it would weird you out? Does it weird you out when you get a surprise boner too, or do you just accept it as a part of life? Because that what a period is, just another part of life. And women shouldn't have to feel ashamed of it. It isn't really any gross either, with the help of all the products available.
ryanthecheeseguy 18
If I got an alert saying "You're gonna pop a boner in 20 minutes, you better be ready to hide it!" in front of a lot of my female friends, I'm sure you guys would be weirded out too.

If you're weirded out, grossed out, freaked out or anything along those lines, when it comes to periods, chances are you're to young for a relationship. Whether you're to young by age or just mentally to young. Periods are a natural bodily function, like gas, coughing, sneezing and breathing. Yes they aren't the best things to deal with whether you're the person who has the period or the person dealing with the person who has the period but if you're not mature enough to handle a woman and her period then you're not mature enough for a relationship. Just my opinion
ryanthecheeseguy 18
Look, I'm not saying that it's "gross", I'm saying that it would indeed be awkward, but I would probably laugh it off to make Op feel better, if I was in that situation with her.
Poppy8127 15
Can I have the app name?
synamin 11
I use one that's simply called, "Period Tracker/Calendar".
titibug823 11
I have one. Its called Period Tracker
OysterPearls 33
Pink Pad is another good one too.
LisaDay 14

charlielindor 4

ImTheAlpha 30
ALL OF THESE PERIOD APPS HAVE PINK FLOWERS AS ICONS
Chezzlova 5
Wait... There's apps for that?
gemstone586 12
I'm very surprised by the ignorance on this topic....
Raath00 7
As if you need an app with push notifications to tell you about your body. OP, you're better than this...
Mauskau 36
You're male, you can't say anything about it. ;)
LisaDay 14
yes lots of girls use apps to track it. it dorsnt always come on the same day of the month. it helps to figure out when to expect it and be prepared for it. i use one cause mine comes at random times. it helps keep track of what changes my body go through (cramps, fever, migraines, tender breasts, etc) so i can prepare for it when i feel then coming on.
worldclassrager 41
He should understand it's just like the low battery on an iPhone no matter what you are doing it will pop up
Sheh_fml 25
Those apps are awesome. It's not like periods actually follow a monthly schedule, since ones cycle can range from 20-something to 30-something days, it pretty much never comes the same date every month.
skittle_QUEEN_YO 15
I agree im preety sure my bosy took pity on me since i usually get periods going from the end of the month to the begining but for some reason my period was alot early which for me was good since i has to go swimming later in the month anyway moral of la story everyones body can be unpredictable at times so you shouldnt be ashamed to try and plan ahead and map out what you gotta do take pride in your body and so whats best for it no matter how akward it is for someone else

We know what's gonna happen one week from now ;)
