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, see How do I log or delete menstrual health details? You can log OPK test results in the Fitbit app for iPhone, iPad, and Android phones.

Note: 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 logging a 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 don't I see an estimated fertile window after logging a positive OPK test result?

In order to see your estimated fertile window in the Fitbit app after logging 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, see our blog post: Using Ovulation Predictor Kits to Help You Get Pregnant? Here's What You Need to Know.

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.

Note that If you attempt to log a period in the future or a period with less than a one-day gap between periods, the pencil icon Edit pencil is unavailable. If you don’t see the pencil icon, make sure the period you’re attempting to log or edit meets all of the requirements.

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

	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.
