How do I log ovulation test results in the Fitbit app?

To log positive or negative ovulation predictor kit (OPK) test results in the menstrual health tracking feature in the Fitbit app, refer to How do I log, edit, or delete menstrual cycle health details? You can log OPK test results in the Fitbit app for iPhone, iPad, and Android phones.

Tip: If your OPK provides high or peak fertility results instead of positive or negative results, log a positive OPK test result when you get a peak fertility reading.

How does a logged positive or negative test result affect my predicted period and fertile window?

When you log a positive OPK test result, your fertile window and next predicted period adjust based on your new ovulation day, which is the day after you log the positive test result.

Your future cycle predictions adjust based on the positive OPK test results you log, but past cycles don't change. If you delete a positive OPK test result in the current cycle, your predicted period and estimated fertile window predictions adjust.

If you log a negative OPK test result, your predicted period and estimated fertile window in the Fitbit app remain the same.

Why is there no estimated fertile window after I logged a positive OPK test result?

To check your estimated fertile window in the Fitbit app after you log a positive OPK test result, note the following:

• If you log more than 2 positive OPK test results in a cycle, the Fitbit app can’t provide an estimated fertile window. Note that if you log 2 positive OPK test results in a cycle, you must log them on consecutive days.
• If you log a positive OPK test result that causes your fertile window to shift to a different cycle, the Fitbit app can’t provide an estimated fertile window.

For more information about ovulation predictor kits, refer to our blog post: Ovulation, Fertility, and Pregnancy: What It Really Takes To Make a Baby.

Can I edit a fertile window in the Fitbit app?

Your estimated fertile window automatically adjusts based on the menstrual cycle data you enter. You can’t edit fertile windows directly.

To turn off fertile window predictions, refer to How do I edit my menstrual health settings?

How do I read the menstrual health tracking calendar in the Fitbit app?

From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap the Menstrual health tile to check the calendar with your cycle information. The different colors on the calendar indicate various stages of your cycle. Tap a date to access the menstrual health details you logged for that day and other information.

Note that the gray shading indicates a month, not a cycle.

Why can't I log or edit a period or menstrual health details in the Fitbit app?

If a period doesn’t meet the following requirements, you may receive an error and be unable to log the period:

• You can only add or edit current or past periods and details.
• A period must be at least one day.
• You can log a period of up to 60 days. On Windows 10 devices, the maximum is 10 days. If your period is longer, try to log your flow intensity details.
• A cycle must be at least 11 days, and there must be a gap of at least 1 day between logged periods. If you experience a gap in bleeding during your period, it’s still one period.

The Fitbit app displays a period that I already deleted. Why does this happen?

If you delete a confirmed period and have predictions turned on, the predicted period for that cycle remains present. For more information about the icons and colors on your menstrual health tracking calendar, refer to How do I read the menstrual health tracking calendar in the Fitbit app?

To turn off predicted periods, refer to How do I edit my menstrual health settings?

How can I check trends in my period data?

Explore your cycle trends to find your average period and cycle lengths, and average estimated ovulation days. Note that Fertile window predictions must be enabled to access your average estimated ovulation day.

To check your menstrual health trends:

1. From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap the Menstrual health tile All time to check your cycle length average and period length average across all your cycles per year.
2. Tap a cycle to check the overview of details you logged during that month.

Tip: If the cycle spans multiple months, it takes you to the month the cycle started in. Estimated ovulation displays when cycle duration is between 20 and 90 days, and fertile window predictions are enabled.

How do I track my cycle phases?

Important:

• Cycle phases are currently available on the Fitbit Mobile app for all Android users.
• This feature is not intended to be used as a form of birth control or family planning. For contraception or conception, please consult with a qualified healthcare professional.

The menstrual health feature helps you track your cycle and identify your cycle phases. Cycle phase calculations require the Fertile window and cycle phases predictions to be turned on. If only Period predictions is turned on, you won’t get cycle phase calculations.

To learn more about the different cycle phases that Fitbit shows, refer to What are the different cycle phases that Fitbit shows?

To turn cycle phases on:

1. Go to Settings .
2. Turn on Fertile windows and cycle phases.

2. Tap the 3 dots icon Menstrual health settings.
3. Adjust your menstrual health settings as needed.

Can the Fitbit app remind me when my period starts?

Turn on period notifications to receive reminders about your upcoming predicted periods. You should receive a notification on your phone 2 days before your period starts and on the first day of your predicted period. You should also have the reminder on your Fitbit device in Fitbit Today.

Note that you must turn on period predictions to receive period notifications.

For more information about how to turn period notifications on or off, refer to How do I use the Fitbit app to track my period?

Can I edit my average cycle or period length?

You can edit the average cycle length and period length you provided during setup. However, these settings only affect your initial predictions.

Keep the following in mind:

• Change your average period length to adjust the length of your initial period predictions. For example, if you change your average period length from 5 days to 8 days, your predictions adjust to reflect this change.
• Edit your average cycle length to adjust the length of your entire cycle. If fertility predictions are on, the predictions for your fertile window and ovulation day adjust based on the length of your cycle. For more information, refer to our blog post Ovulation, Fertility, and Pregnancy: What It Really Takes To Make a Baby.

To change your setup values for average cycle or period length:

1. From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap the Menstrual health tile.
2. Tap the 3 dots icon Menstrual health settings.
3. Tap Set up values Period length or Cycle length and adjust the number.

What do the menstrual health icons mean in the Fitbit app?

The icon shown on the menstrual health tile in the Fitbit app changes depending on where you are in your current cycle.

Image	Meaning
	If you haven't logged any periods or you aren't using predictions, the menstrual health tile doesn't have cycle information. Read the cycle ring (the outer circle) clockwise. The dot on the cycle ring shows where you are in your cycle and that you're close to your predicted period. It represents your cycle.
	When the dot is in the pink section, that indicates you’re on your period.
	When the dot is in the blue section, it indicates you’re within your estimated fertile window.
	When the dot is in the gray section, that means you’re neither on your period nor on your estimated fertile window.

Period Predictions

1. From the Today tab in the Fitbit app, tap the Menstrual health tile.
2. Tap the 3 dots icon Menstrual health settings.
