This Update should absolutely be made. It is really astonishing to me that, with all of the technological advances Fitbit has made, they have not acknowledge the needs of women who do not menstruate. This is not a difficult update from a tech perspective. And users shouldn’t have to find a suggestion post and upvote it for Fitbit to take these women’s needs seriously.

I agree. I personally think we should be able to remove any tile we don't want, and not worry about it coming back /popping back up on the dashboard, unless we want it too. I'm 30, but I haven't had a period since I was 21 due to health issues & the medicines I am taking.
You rhink it ia bad for you older ladies. I am a man, pretty sure its a senseless and useless tile for me. Perhaps during set up it could be asked male or female and add the tile if female.
I would like it removed also, not because I don't use it but because I don't want to have my information displayed in public if I swipe incorrectly on my tracking device. People should be able to remove tiles from their trackers that they don't wish to display to those physically around them. My health is my private business is mine not for the world to see.
Hi @Dsim4686, thanks for sharing this suggestion about being able to remove the Menstrual Health Tracking stat from your Luxe with us. Because this idea was already requested in the Feature Suggestions board, I’ve moved your post here. This will help us to make sure the suggestions don't get confused, or split a popular vote. Please click on the thumbs-up to show your support.
I would also like to see this happen. I use Flo for cycle tracking as it’s more robust and therefore better for helping me manage PCOS and since Fitbit doesn’t allow flow sync cycle data, I don’t use this section (because I’m not tracking it in two locations). I want to be able to remove it from the device because of this as I don’t want to cycle through it when looking for different tiles on the device that I do use.
I was using the menstrual tracking but became pregnant. There’s no way to change your status and I can’t find a way to delete tracker from the watch even after removing it from the app. This is an issue for so many women in all sorts of situations and ridiculous that it’s so hard to remove.
Please create an opt in/opt out feature for the “tiles” or categories both on the app and on the device!! I do not want to have FitBit tracking my menstrual cycles, don’t want automated reminders and app-based guesses about my personal intimate cycle appearing on my Fitbit luxe in public. I am extremely surprised to find that there is no way to opt out of that feature and think the oversight is pretty significant. There are many reasons why women may choose not to share those details with the tracker and to be honest- it’s a bit insensitive to those who have more complicated relationships with their menstrual cycle.
Did men develop this aspect of the watch? Not all women have periods. If the men don’t have this tile on their watches, then the women should at least be given the option of whether or not to have it on our watches. 🙄
100% agree there should be an option to _not_ display Mentral Cycle on Fitbit devices. Making the implementation of this option wait for a vote feels insensitve and dismissive. Men, most female baby boomers, and women that do not have a menstral cycle - for a plethora of reasons - have no use for this option. I urge you to be understanding, forward thinking; approve the change and deploy it to production within the next two (2) months.
We shouldn’t have to take a vote on this. This is personal and private information, and I am appalled that we even have to ask for the option to remove it. I am appalled that Fitbit doesn’t even offer me the option of not tracking this at all.
If you can’t keep our personal information private, then you shouldn’t be tracking it.
I am new to Fitbit and just today ran my first Wellness Report. Even though there was no menstrual data, it still included it as a category. I am 63 years old, my last light spotting was in 2011, and I want to be able to simply say I don't have periods any more and otherwise not have this category show up on my report. Can it not only be removed from my app screens but also from reporting? I know my healthcare professionals can read through this and see the information that is helpful, but it's just plain annoying to not be able to remove this category. Tx!
Please give the option to remove the menstrual tracking on the charge 5. I've had a hysterectomy and don't need to be reminded that I can't have children anymore. I'm sure there are many reasons people don't want to have this tile on their device. Please please please give the option to remove it.
I’m a bit embarrassed about woman’s problems and I hate that this is on my device. It’s ok on my phone, but not my Luxe. Please allow me control over this. I was showing off my new Luxe to people and got very embarrassed when they scrolled to that section on my watch. I can’t explain but this is really embarrassing for me.
