How do I edit cycle length?

[Staceybumble]

Setting up my female health tracking. Have added cycle and period length but it doesn’t register on the app. It says my cycle length is 54 days on the tile but in the settlings I have set it for 26. 

I have the latest update and have tried logging out etc but it hasn’t changed.

Welcome on board @Staceybumble, it's nice to see you here! Thanks for already troubleshooting this inconvenience, nice way to go!

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, see 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 Fitbit app dashboard, tap the female health tile.
2. Tap the gear icon.
3. Tap Period Length or Cycle Length and adjust the number. 
4. Confirm your changes.

To add or edit a period:

1. From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the female health tile.
2. Tap the start date of a period on the calendar.
3. Tap the pencil icon to add or edit a period (you can also tap and hold a date on the calendar). If period predictions are turned on, the entire period appears on the calendar based on your average period length.
4. On the calendar, tap the first or last day of a period and then slide your finger across the dates to adjust the period length. 
5. Tap Save.

Update information about your cycle, including period length, cycle length, and birth control method, and choose whether to show period and fertility predictions and receive notifications.

1. From the Fitbit app dashboard, tap the female health tile.
2. Tap the gear icon.
3. Adjust your female health settings as needed.
