The team behind menstrual health and period tracking app Clue has said it will not disclose users' data to American authorities, following Donald Trump's reelection.

We can both tell when it's about to happen because my SO's hormones start going crazy (alternate between angry over small things and affectionate), and like clockwork, the menstrual cycle happens about 2 days later.

But yeah, it's generally about every 4 weeks, give or take a few days. It used to be all over the place, but now that she's been better about exercise and diet, it's a lot more consistent.
