Today, I purchased an app to track my period. When my mother asked me why I got it, I told her I was going to use it so I knew when to not go on a date because I don't want to be uncomfortable during a long movie. She slapped me in the face and called me a dirty prostitute and a liar. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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
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
Today, I found out my boyfriend uses a period tracker app to find out when we can fuck. FML
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
Today, I told my mom I was going on a date tonight. She laughed and didn't believe me. When I tried to convince her it was real, she got mad and grounded me for lying. I had to cancel the date. FML
Today, I called my mom to tell her that I finally got my period. There was an awkward pause. She was at work. I was on speakerphone. FML
Today, my mother asked me if my boyfriend and I were getting serious. I quickly lied and said no. She then informed me that if things ever heated up, she would take me to get birth control. Wanting birth control, I confessed. In turn she grounded me. I'm not allowed to see my boyfriend anymore. FML
Today, I discovered a tracking app enabled on my phone so I switched it off to save battery space. Within 20 minutes my mother rang and demanded to know where I was, what I was doing, if I was with some woman… you get the picture. I'm 32 and own my own apartment. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What the hell? What have you done recently to put her under the impression that you're a prostitute? Other than this, because this doesn't seem like a good enough excuse.

If you have kids and they turned out like little ***** that's your own damn fault.

Sometimes debilitating cramps is just that; there is no underlying problem.

Actually, my sister was one of those unfortunate women that had really terrible cramps. To the point of throwing up, etc. It wasn't until a cyst burst that the gyno realized something was amiss. I'm definitely not saying that this is what the OP experiences, but stranger things have happened. We simply don't have enough info to judge this fully. Either way, I'm sorry to hear it OP. :(

is the app really useful ?

I sincerely doubt that your discomfort in a movie would be the legitimate cause of you getting this app. It seems far more likely that you would want to use it to avoid any pregnancy mishaps or any other awkward sexual situations that come from your period. However if you did honestly mean the general idea that you described OP why couldn't you just tell your mom that you were curious and wanted to find the general time that it would occur (if you couldn't already guesstimate that as is) and use the knowledge to plan long term things accordingly. That would have actually made sense.

Did you really think she'd buy that?

that's an oddly specific excuse. I wouldn't believe you either if I were your mom.

Wooa, lots of people here not knowing shit about having a period. "Obviously it can't be so discomforting you'd track it for other reasons than unprotected sex!!!!!", jeez. Hard to believe some people still seem to think it's just a bit of blood you're not even noticing in 2011. FYL OP.
