Some obvious ones I don’t feel are listed in the conditions, things I like to note during my cycle. A big one which a lot of women suffer with like Bloating and sleep deprived.
Some ideas that could be listed in conditions
bloated
sleep deprivation
gassy/windy
increased appetite
high stress
high energy
dizziness
decrease appetite
clotting
constipation
diarrhea
PMS
maybe there could be a bit that allows you to write in a note on a day of your choice.
I think a pregnancy mode is definitely needed also where women can log stages in their pregnancy and also make notes where needed.
I hope theres still to be further developments with the women’s heath app.

Hi there
loving the new menstrual tracker feature. I know it’s just been released but I have a few suggestions for development:
1. Additional ‘conditions’
i think the current list is very limited for women who have more symptomatic periods. For me I suffer from insomnia around my menstural cycle and I know body temperatures change as well. This is something that I would currently track in another menstural app.
2. Consider renaming ‘Conditions’ to Symptoms
Using the term conditions gives the impression that having a period or having these symptoms are a negative thing.
3. Remove ‘morning After pill
4. Change ‘other’ to ‘emotions’ and add different emotions
5. Include a Notes
Sometimes it’s nice to add more information to the day or explain a little better on what the symptom was.
6. Import data from other trackers
i have beings using another menstural app for two years and with the introduction on Fitbit with this new feature it would be great to contain all that information under one place... instead of starting from scratch it would be great to import data from my other app into this one.
thanks

I think being able, ourselves, to add the specific symptoms would solve the problem. Ovuview, that is the best app to do period and fertility tracking has this option to personalize 10 symptoms adding to the most common ones. I think this might be the fastest way to solve this, since there are so many of them, and varies so much from women to women that for us to be able to personalize them, would solve the problem and please us all.
Also, very very important for those who track their cycle is a feature to add basal body temperature! If you want to actually track ovulation, you have to do it with basal temperature information! Is like the most important data of all!
There are trackers that already track HR and basal temperature, we have to use them by night in our arm! If you would take this step it would be awesome, and a major sale point!!! Doing it all with one device! Fabulous. Also, it would mean the world to female health information, that is sooo little addressed. But very glad to see you starting to do the walk!
In the meanwhile, yes, please add this pretty basic "conditions" mentioned already.
Also would like to know if in the future the plan is for Fitbit to cross HR and sleep data with the cycle informations, or if we will have to analyze them on our own? Like at the end of the cycle, generating a report stating that the rest HR in follicular phase was x and deep sleep average was x and you were awake x, etc... the same in luteal phase. Even if not detecting a pattern, it would help us detecting it.
Thank you

Loving the new female tracking feature! I was wondering is the “sick” condition meant to be for nausea? That’s how I’ve been using it. If not I would recommend there be a nausea condition option as well as a depression condition; because I ALWAYS seem to be so down and gloomy a few days leading up to my period and I would be interested to see just how often that could be attributed to my cycle.

I feel as though missing a BC pill can alter your cycle completely. As someone who would like to keep careful track of my cycle I do need this option. Unfortunately its something I tend to forget at times. Is there a way to put that under “other events” next to the “morning after pill”?

Yes! More “conditions.” Backache, mood swings, food cravings, fatigue, bloating, etc

I have the same suggestion. I get canker sores every month, and it would be great to track that as part of female health tracking.

Can Tired be added as a condition to the tracker. I definitely get a couple of days of complete exhaustion the week before a period starts so it is definitely related and it would be interesting to see it tracked as a symptom

Tired or fatigue would be an excellent symptom to add. I also feel extremely exhausted a couple days before my period starts and for the first few days. I can usually tell it’s about to start just from the fatigue and resulting irritability it causes.

I'd love to see it be customizable to add our own symptoms. I get severe back pain a few days beforehand, as well as pain when I ovulate. It would be nice to be able to keep track of that in the same place as everything else. Other people have symptoms such as bloating or irritability, or depression and anxiety that gets worse. If Fitbit wants to become an overall one-stop health management app, making it possible to be more individual would be a great step.

Thank you, yes I have seen these posts and voted for them.
I was looking forward to the female health tracker so much and was so disappointed. It really seems designed for women who are trying to get pregnant and that is very limiting. There are so many reasons to track cycles and so many symptoms associated with different times in the cycle, I am wondering if there are even any women on the development team at FitBit?
