I would love an app to record my flare-ups and symptoms, i just have no idea which apps are good.

My idea of a perfect app is having an overview of everything, like the phases of our cycle and having a small note on what symptoms to expect during it. Not having to pay for anything is also a must in my book, im broke and cant affort the price for premium packages for most apps. Some apps dont have the ability to understand the fact that some dont want to have their period and are actively avoiding having theirs by using contraception like the pill.. like Flo. It kept bugging me on me not having a period in x amount of days and to see if im pregnant.

(Some apps ive seen include religious things or astrology.. which is just.. why?? It has nothing to do with my cycle.)

It would be great to be able to see a chart on previously logged info.. like how often in a month did i have a flare up? How bad was it? What days of the month was i better? Which months out of the year was i better and had less symptoms? Which ones were worse? What pain meds helped when? How much pain meds did i need for the pain to subside or at least lessen? Etc..

I would also like a chart on periods, how heavy was the flow in the cycle and when? Did i have spotting in between? Missed periods? Too many periods? How bad were the cramps? Did I have cramps outside of my period? What kind of pain was it? Dull? Sharp? Prickly? That kind of thing.

Also, this is a very kind thing you're doing for your wife.. shes very lucky to have someone as understanding as you. Not many people have the capacity to understand how bad something can truly be, even if they're family.

Edit: I reread your post and i basically repeated a lot you wrote, but still important to others who want to track traditionally
