10 Best Period Trackers Apps Of All-Time

We may not love that time of the month, but even as we dread the cramps, we understand this menstrual cycle represents an important part of our health.

But how many of us take the time to track our cycle? Knowing how to track your period can be a good idea for a few reasons. It helps you get to know and understand your own body and cycle, and you may begin to notice certain cravings, mood swings or headaches that occur during a particular phase of your cycle.

It also can be important for health reasons, since changes in cycle may let you know that you need to see your doctor and see what's up. That's why using a period tracker app is so important, because it will let you know when you are most fertile, especially if you are avoiding pregnancy or trying to become pregnant.
