    Period- and fertility-tracking apps are nothing new, but they've seen a resurgence over the past few months. Traditional device makers like Fitbit, Garmin and Apple are beginning to incorporate the functionality into their wearables and smartwatches and some, like Garmin, are extending that functionality into standalone apps. While Apple had period-tracking in its Health app for awhile, the next iteration will soon let women know when their fertile period is, with or without the watch.
