What about those of us who are postmenopausal?

The Clue app is more inclusive by age and comprehensive in symptoms. It's compatible with the Versa/Ionic. www.helloclue.com

Does anyone know of a good app that will track changes in cycle patterns? I've been using Clue so far.

Not an acceptable reply.
I assume it was men, not women who thought this was a good idea & don't understand why many of us are insulted by your assumption.
Maybe you will be insulted by my assumption, and you will better understand our issue with this.

I agree! I can't figure out how to opt out of this terrible addition to my fit bit. HELP!

Hi, @ramsfam, you can simply delete the "tile" (just like any tile that is not relevant to you). Go to your app, press edit, press the X in the tile yu don't want, press done, and that's all.
If this doesn't make sense, please let us know which app you are using (Windows, iOS or Android) and someone can talk you through it.
Then you will never see it again !
I have to say, just for myself, even though it is not relevant to me, I am so glad that yunger women have this option and I welcome it. I wish it had been available for me.
Since Fitbit cannot know when a particular woman will stop having periods, I think it was reasonable to make it available to all women, especially since you don't need to use it ... you can just delete it...
I don't use the water tracking tile, but I am not offended that Fitbit makes it available. Just my personal opinion.

It's nice to have a new member here, welcome to the Female Tracking board @Trish_S! For anything else you would like to see implemented in this feature for the future, consider visiting our Feature Suggestions board. Please, look under the label "Female Health Tracking" for existing ideas that might match your own and vote.
I was making some research and was able to find this idea asking for the same:
Also, don't forget you both to always check the article: How do I use the Fitbit app to track my period? since it is the best place to find more information about this new feature.
The Female Heath Tracking was one of the most popular in the Feature Suggestion board and now it's implemented! Which means that, since this is a newly launched feature, we're always interested in ways to improve the product.
Thanks to all for the feedback!

I am also menopausal, and I keep deleting this tile and it keeps coming back. Is there a trick?

Agreed--we older women have specific health issues that could be addressed in an app that touts itself as "Female Health Tracking."
Get some older women on your planning team to develop a program that meets our needs--I bet many fitbit users are in my age group, see the period tracker, and wonder why we can't add "none."
It made me feel old, and then I wondered how personal do I want to get with an app, anyhow?

Yes I'm 62 and the wretched thing appeared. Even though I have 'removed' it from my dashboard, it keeps re appearing after a few days

I agree. As a cancer survivor, I was thrust into menopause at the age of 35. Fitbit needs to have a OBGYN consult to assess other things that can be tracked both during pregnancy and during menopause.
For menopause, you could track headaches, hot flashes, hormones taken, vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse. You can still track breast exams. But it would also be just as easy to have an on/off switch so that women who no longer menstruate can just switch it off.

Hey there @NolaNurse, @JoSpks, @MP13071957, and @philliejillie! If you have the Fitbit Versa or Fitbit Ionic and want to remove the tile from the watch, you need to remove each period in the Fitbit app. Follow these steps to complete the process:
If you have trouble adding or editing a period, see our troubleshooting tips.
Please note that you can't remove your female health tracking data only from the device, you must remove your data from the Fitbit app to delete the information from your device. Hiding the female health tracking tile from your app dashboard does not delete your female health tracking data from your mobile app or your device.
On the other hand, if you have any other Fitbit tracker such as Charge 2, Blaze, Alta, and so on. You can hide the tile from your Fitbit app by following these steps:
Always make sure that you'll are using the latest Fitbit app version. Android should be on 2.73 and iOS on 2.52 as of today. Believe or not, running old versions might cause inconveniences.
For Android users only: If you remove the FHT tile and log out of the app, you may see the FHT tile on your dashboard when you log back in. Please, force quit the app instead of logging out to avoid seeing the female health tracking tile appear in your dashboard.
In regards to add post-menopausal option, please consider visiting our Feature Suggestions board and vote for the idea Menopause (Pre, during, and post). This is a space where Community users can post features, ideas, and suggestions that they'd like to see in future Fitbit products, accessories, and software and top-voted suggestions get relayed to our product team for review.
I'll be around if you need further assistance!

I was so proud that I got rid of the tile. Imagine my surprise this morning when I woke up to a notification that my period will be starting today!
How do I get rid of everything associated with my reproductive ability?
What about a sorting question like at MD offices: date of last menses?

I agree. I am in perimenopause and expected some features that would track my symptoms and give a comparison to the average for women at my age.... maybe some projections. maybe track my hot flashes...? I'd like to know how many I had by day and if they are getting more or less frequent. this would be good info to share with doc.

@Celina27 , you can definitely effectively disable it. Just don't add any periods (or delete any previously added) and remove the tile from the app -- then it won't appear anywhere.

Hi @Celina27! My friend @Julia_G is right, you can disable/delete female health tracking from your device
In order to do so, you need to remove each period in the Fitbit app. For instructions, please see: How do I add, edit, or delete a period in the Fitbit app?
You must remove your data from the Fitbit app to delete the information from your device. Hiding the female health tracking tile from your app dashboard does not delete your female health tracking data from your mobile app or your device.

I noticed this past weekend that my fitbit gave me credit for activity while I was riding in a car. It didn't make sense until I realized that it was during a time I had a hot flash. The fitbit is reading hot flashes as activity. Is it supposed to do that? As a woman in her 50s, I'd like the 'female health tracking' to consider menopausal symptoms, especially since my fitbit is already counting the hotflashes as activity.
