    In addition to what have been said in other comments, it’s useful to track your period for any serious irregularities. Your period can tell a lot about the state of your body, and those can be a sign of illness and such. For example, missed periods are very common in eating disorders; it might be a wake up call in many cases.

      I’d add to this that since women and femmes are often not believed in medical settings, it can be helpful to have a log of the irregularities if something is going wrong.

      Of course, sometimes you’ll still have that log and go to the doctor and they’ll tell you you’re pregnant despite not having had penetrative sex for 6 months.
