Show when/how many days period is late

I know that the menstrual health tracking on the Fitbit app is new but I really wish that ... The app had a tracker (number count) for how many days late the period is. Other apps have this and if the Fitbit app had it I would be able to delete the others (yay!)

Hi @Adri11 thanks for sharing this ideas. Hopefully other users find it useful, let's wait and see how  many votes it will receive!

Wait, it doesn't already tell you if your period is late? What is it even for, then?

I know, right? It doesn't tell you'd assumes that your period started when predicted. Other apps ask you to update if you got it or not.

I think this thread is underrated. It really irks me that the app assumes that your period starts on the day that it is projected. I would also like to know how many days I'm late on the dashboard instead of my fertility window.

Yes!  I am currently late.  It had my predicted period in the faded pink.  It is now the day after that and instead of saying something it started the predicted period over again for the next 4-5 days.  Really!?

I'd also like the option to skip periods. I'm old enough that things aren't always showing up.

I would also like to see a few other options. Like the ability to input positive tests, such as ovulation or pregnancy tests. Plus the ability to delay periods, although not entering data does this ok. These are just a few features I would like. I still use the period tracking because its conveniently on my versa and I can check it. But I do still log in my other app because Fitbit just doesnt cover it all

How can there not already be away to edit period? There is no way this app was designed by a woman lol.

I agree this app would be so much better if it would allow you to enter if you have missed your period.  I have another app that does this and if the Fitbit app did it I could use the fitbit app and delete the other apps. I like that it predicts the period but if you dont have it there should be an optuon to enter that.

Hi @Adri11 thanks for sharing this suggestion. I wanted to let you know that as per your first request, the app allows you to select "not yet" to indicate you haven't received your period yet. I have edited your suggestion to focus on the second part of your request. Thanks

Same as Ashley: I would also like to see a few other options. Like the ability to input positive tests, such as ovulation or pregnancy tests.

For myself, where's the BBT tracking? The cervical fluid or cervical position? How can you possibly predict ovulation and mestruation for those not on a perfectly regular cycle without one or more of these data points - surely simply RHR isn't enough!

Your best move would be a two-way integration with an extant fertility app.
