“When was the first day of your last period?”
An important question often asked by healthcare providers. If you use Clue you can simply pull out your phone and give an accurate answer based on what you tracked (instead of struggling to remember).

Long before modern technology, people were tracking their cycles with analog calendars. While simple calendars can help you learn more about your body, pen and paper cannot predict when your next period will arrive. That’s where Clue and cycle tracking comes in.
What are the benefits of cycle tracking?
Research tells us cycle tracking can help women and people with cycles in a few ways:
Learn more about your body. Tracking your physical and mental experiences can increase self-awareness and self-knowledge by helping you understand your body and its experiences through each phase of your cycle (1,2). From vaginal fluid to energy levels – you’ll discover your own unique cycle patterns.
Know your baseline and notice changes. Understanding your cycle baseline (what’s typical for you), can help you notice when something has changed (1). Sharing what you track with your healthcare provider can help them get a better understanding of your overall reproductive health so they can cater their advice to your body specifically (3). This can help you learn more about what to expect and look out for as some of your particular cycle experiences (3).
Be prepared for your period and cycle-related experiences. It’s not only about making sure you’re stocked up with pads, tampons, or a menstrual cup – for many women and people with cycles, menstruation can mean managing pain, discomfort, and other experiences (4). Knowing when to expect your period and cycle-related experiences can help you feel prepared (1). Getting in front of your cramps and planning movement, or whatever makes you feel more comfortable, can help you have more pain-free days (1).
