Irregular menses#589

There should be a choice for “unsure” or “cannot tell” or “irregular” or something similar when logging whether I am on my period. I have an IUD and am perimenopausal.

Am I bleeding? Of course I can tell that as a yes/no question. Am I hormonally on my period, without bleeding or maybe it is about to start??? Who knows!!! I’d like more than a yes/no/about to start option.

Thanks!

Agree! I believe I’m peri menopausal as well, so now my periods are all over the place!

@Radahms @Ainslie Divers thanks for your suggestion!
We’d definitely keep that in our backlog of features to be developped! We are a small team so it might take some time, but we’ll keep an eye on it!

Wishing you a lovely, migraine-free day!

Agreed. Migraines are big in people with Polycystic Ovarian syndrome which involves irregular periods. For your purposes, it might be simpler to add another option for a 1 to 3 or a 1 to 5 for heaviness of bleeding. Then people could choose not to record their cycle, since it doesnt follow a pattern. But doctors and users could infer hormonal involvement from bleeding. Even apps design as period trackers are way oversimplified. Its a huge factor in lots of health concerns for half the human population, yet Ignored by tracking apps.

@Amanda G. thanks for the suggestion, indeed that would be a very advanced tracking feature. For now you can record those information in your notes or in the health events (home screen, side menu (top left corner), health events, ‘+” icon).
I’ll keep an eye on further suggestions regarding menstruation tracking!
Wishing you a lovely, migraine-free day!

Also option for HRT treatment!!!!

I agree, I am Perimenopausal as well and using hormonal birth control continuously to help with migraines (and other issues). I have no idea when my period is “supposed” to be because I either don’t have it or I have breakthrough bleeding but “out of cycle”.

Hello @Mzumtaylor, indeed that would be nice to have such flexibilty. For now you can record it in the health events (home screen, side menu (top left corner), health events, ‘+” icon). And whenever we have impovements on that featire I’ll keep you posted!
Wishing you a lovely, migraine-free day!
