#but they don't have any adjustments to their app for people on hormonal birth control? no info on how that impacts your 'cycle'?

[girlitfeelsgood]

I'll never understand why clue insists on telling me which menstrual cycle phase I'm in or when I'm gonna ovulate when I've been on birth control pills for years

Ok. If you menstruate, here is your task list.

Delete any period tracker apps, and make a habit out of not posting on social media about your period.

Get on implantable or hormonal birth control asap, if it's medically safe for you to do so. There are several options for IUDs, subdermal implants, rings and pills. If you're trans and hesitant about hormones, you can get a hormone-free copper IUD. Get what you can afford, and reliably access. If you've been thinking for a while you want to get surgically sterilized, this is your sign to move on that. You'll probably have to fight for it, so prepare to be insistent, rude, and/or try multiple doctors.

Buy a small stock of hormonal "plan b" type medications as well as pregnancy tests. You want them already in your house when you need them, and not as a suspicious purchase at the time of need. Familiarize yourself with their usage (may need to adjust depending on your weight) and shelf life. Replace them when they expire.

If you make sperm, protect yourself and the people in your life by always carrying condoms that are not past their expiry date. If you don't want kids, consider getting a vasectomy. It's a much less invasive procedure than sterilization for someone with ovaries.
