Period tracking: Is there really science to monitoring our cycles?

There is precedent for this: in 2019, Flo, a popular period and fertility-tracking app, was embroiled in scandal after allegations surfaced that it shared sensitive user data with third parties, including Facebook and Google, without proper user consent.
