Why would such an app need to go online at all? Maybe you can find an open source option on f-droid.
The Cycle Tracking app built into iOS’s Health app is E2EE.
"Health data can be stored in iCloud. End-to-end encryption for Health data requires iOS 12 or later and two-factor authentication. Otherwise, the user’s data is still encrypted in storage and transmission but isn’t encrypted end-to-end. After the user turns on two-factor authentication and updates to iOS 12 or later, the user’s health data is migrated to end-to-end encryption."

Thinking the people who support abortion are on your side is the issue. The people supporting abortion are the same people who make period tracker apps and the same people that run the companies that buy that data. Think about it.
Why add to the noise of apps and add to the possible confusion when a simple paper calendar would work?
* Handy push notification early reminders * paper calendars have no security/privacy * app would always be available, not just at home * ability to mark start/stop wherever/whenever and not just when the paper is nearby * app can track trends, make suggestions and predictions * can make historical data available to medical professionals need any more?
Side channels aside, this would avoid data leaks.
Where do you live, might I ask?
If Apple cared more about privacy, they could address this with a category of enforced local-only apps. A local-only app would not be able to access the network or interact with other apps. It’s data could be backed up and synced via iCloud but not by any other means. Side channels aside, this would avoid data leaks.

No security in paper notebook? So why does this topic exist? No privacy? Tell me name of that paper notebook who sells your data?
Avaible not from home only? How many looks at this kind of data is required daily?
Ability to mark whenever? Why if precision of calendar of periods anyway is limited to days?
Track trendns and make predictions? This is an EXACT goal of using tracker, no matter paper or digital.
Can make historical data available? This is a pure lie, you are going to change several devices and versions of OS w/o ability to import that history (for example) from Android 4 to Android 14. Paper can serve you since your the first period ever upto the last one.
