I started a new icloud calendar on my phone with a vague name, and have been just adding an all day event with emojis for the title: 🔴 = light/spotting, 🔴🔴 = medium 🔴🔴🔴 = heavy. And then I just jot any additional notes in the description/notes section. It’s not quite as convenient, but it’s been working for me. If you’re extra concerned about discretion, you can make the emojis as random as you want.

This is a thing I just never think to look for, thank you. Obviously, looking for markings on the device or packaging is the way to tell if you have one in hand, but is that usually listed in an item description? Probably a dumb question, but my brain has been in the habit of taking this for granted and just skipping past that sort of info.

If it isn’t specified in an item’s description online, is that a red flag? Any other indicators for online shoppers that a product or vendor might be sketchy?

When the draft opinion leaked, like a lot of other folx I got really spooked. I had been using Clue, but I was terrified if I just deleted my account, a copy of my data would still exist somewhere, so I started going back through and removing all my past entries individually. Because I had such a long archive, there’s still some old entries I haven’t gotten to and I still get predictive alerts.

Am I being over the top? If I purge my data as is, is that being cautious enough? The accuracy of their prediction models spooks me enough that I worry projections could still reasonably be held against me. What should I do to be most cautious about purging whatever archival info they might still have on me?

Thank you! This is very helpful.

Unfortunately, I’m one of those blue urbanites within a red state (now with an abortion ban), so I stopped using tracker apps when the draft came out.

Side questions: Out of caution & fear for contraception access, I also ordered several EC pills, some via Nurx. I didn’t see Nurx mentioned above, but have you ever assessed their privacy/security for users?
