Period tracker apps for 10 year old

Hi,

My 10 year old has started her periods.

Are there any recommended apps she can use to track her period to get her use to monitoring it?

I seen quite a few but would rather use one recommended by other young girls.

I'm not sure there's one used for that particular market. She's likely to be irregular for several years yet and I'd have felt weird tracking it at that age.

If she wants one that isn't all flowery and pink then Clue could work.

iPhone or Android? Or other?

iPhones have it built into the Health app now. Browse button, Cycle Tracking if it's not already on the front page.

Both DD and i use period tracker, you can turn off the TTC and just use for periods. My DDs have been pretty regular from the start but she also tracks moods as it helps her understand her emotions a bit more.

Does she have a FitBit? There's a tracker on there.

Lemon- I hadn’t thought about how irregular they will be, I think she’s so used to me tracking mine that she wanted too...when I first started I wrote it in my diary, but she hasn’t got one.

Spoon- she has a kindle and iPhone- I’ll check out the health app Smile

Thanks for your help.

Dropzone- thank you, I’ll check that I’ve out, I think tracing moods/stomach ache would be useful for her.

40to50- no, no Fitbit...but I didn’t realise you could use it to track periods!

I got my first period when I was 9 and they were pretty much regular straight away, I started using Period Tracker to track mine when I was about 12.

I would also recommend Flo - I use this one now and find it to be more accurate when predicting my period😁

I think it's great she wants to track them, it's good getting to know your body from a young age, knowing roughly when they're expected to come will help her with making plans etc as well as I was always worried about making plans and my period starting being so young when they started! 🙈
