Menstrual Health Tracking - Add personalized conditions or symptoms to cycle

Uses need the ability to add 1 or 2 personalized conditions for their own cycle. This way, the app isn’t cluttered with every condition or symptom out there, but an individual has what she needs.

Nice suggestion, thanks for sharing. This would be helpful to have a personal experience with the Female Health Tracker. We look forward to hearing what other community members think.

I was about to add this very issue myself. I emailed to request the ability to add my personal symptoms, and the response was that I should post my thoughts on it here?!

I agree with this - you should be able to add customized symptoms. I always find "sick" to be very vague. But I would like to be able to add some of the grizzly details that are not options. Additionally, it would he nice to be able to add colour of the fluid.

I agree. I sent an email request to add “mood” for pms and pmdd sufferers and was told to post it here. I hope they take the suggestion to heart ASAP.

I would like to add my voice to this issue as well. I would like to add some personalized conditions as well. Good timing and suggestions!

 

 Thanks, Alex Crisp, Ph.D.

Or just make it completely customizable with no limit on symptoms would be better. I'm sure I'm not the only woman to experience this, there are some cycles that in one day I can have 5 or more symptoms.

I vote for adding the ability to add personalized notes.

Yes this would be great. I would love to track night sweats and constipation and diarrhea and painful poops and extra crying and stomach upset and cramps and ovarian cyst pain and back pain and more but I bet lots of others have different symptoms. Definitely need to add more symptoms overall but some that we can choose would be awesome.

I would certainly like to see personlised symptoms - or the ability to add notes to particular days - e.g. cramps as a symptom is fine, but cramps vary in intensity even for individuals - they can be be so bad you feel like throwing up and can’t get any respite, so bad they are in your back, your stomach, and go down into the thighs too. So please - add the ability to add our own notes

Yes please

I think a really useful feature for women's health would be to add in our own customisable symptoms e.g for me I get mouth ulcers in the days before my period, so it might help us to work out certain signs of an upcoming period/ ovulation. This would be particularly helpful for women who don't have regular periods.

Would be great to "create custom"  (similar to create new custom food) for the period symptoms, as I am sure all women have random symptoms pop up they'd like to track.  Was surprised to not see "hunger" on there, or "less appetite".  Things like that.  Thanks!

On a related note, it would be helpful to have a simple text box for a quick note about symptoms.

I think we should be able to add our own period details in the app.  Having the suggestions that are already provided are great but I’d like an option to add my own details and save them so I can use them for future data inputs. Eg. I sometimes experience symptoms that aren’t listed in the period tracking tab.

Add "nauseated" under the list of accompanied symptoms users may experience during menstruation.

I'd love the ability to create my own tags for symptoms / add my own notes on the womens health tracker. The ability to search by symptom/tag would also be useful in tracking patterns.
