Adding a period is no longer showing automatically the predicted length

[watermelemon]

Hi everyone,

I just opened my Fitbit app to find that it has changed to the new dashboard (which I am personally not a fan of AT ALL, but that's for another post.  Hopefully, it can be greatly improved over the coming months).  Anyway, I went to the Female Health Tracker because I wanted to record the start of a period.  When I have done this in the past (that is holding down on a day to make it the start of a period), the app has then automatically made the length of the period starting on that day the length it predicts it should be, which is really handy because then I still get an idea of when the period should finish regardless of whether the app had previously predicted it to start on that day.  However, when I started a period in the calendar just now, the app did not automatically make it the predicted length.  Instead, the length starts at 1 day with no predictions given.  Should it be doing this, or is this a bug?  I use a Samsung Galaxy J5 Pro with Android 8.1 and Fitbit app version 3.0.  Thank you.

Hi @watermelemon, thanks for sharing your comments about Female Health Tracking. 

You have a really good point there and we apologize for this inconvenience. We are still modifying some features and this option should be working flawless shortly. In the meantime, you can add your period length by tapping and swiping to the dates that you wish to add. Thanks a million for your feedback and for sharing the model of your phone.

For anything else you would like to see implemented in this feature for the future, consider visiting our Feature Suggestions board. Look under the label "Female Health Tracking" for existing ideas that might match your own and vote!  

Let me know if there's anything else I may assist you with.

Thank you, @YojanaFitbit.  I understand that there are often growing pains when a major software change has been implemented, and I look forward to hearing when it has been fixed.  Thank you also for suggesting the Feature Suggestions Board, as I was not aware of it.
