How do I log ovulation test results in the Fitbit app?

To log positive or negative ovulation predictor kit (OPK) test results in the menstrual health tracking feature in the Fitbit app, see How do I log or delete menstrual health details? You can log OPK test results in the Fitbit app for iPhone, iPad, and Android phones.

Desktop

Note: if your OPK provides high or peak fertility results instead of positive or negative results, log a positive OPK test result when you get a peak fertility reading.

How does logging a positive or negative test result affect my predicted period and fertile window?

When you log a positive OPK test result, your fertile window and next predicted period adjust based on your new ovulation day, which is the day after you log the positive test result.

Your future cycle predictions adjust based on the positive OPK test results you log, but past cycles don't change. If you delete a positive OPK test result in the current cycle, your predicted period and estimated fertile window predictions adjust.

App

If you log a negative OPK test result, your predicted period and estimated fertile window in the Fitbit app remain the same.

Why don't I see an estimated fertile window after logging a positive OPK test result?

In order to see your estimated fertile window in the Fitbit app after logging a positive OPK test result, note the following:

  • If you log more than 2 positive OPK test results in a cycle, the Fitbit app can’t provide an estimated fertile window. Note that if you log 2 positive OPK test results in a cycle, you must log them on consecutive days.
  • If you log a positive OPK test result that causes your fertile window to shift to a different cycle, the Fitbit app can’t provide an estimated fertile window.

For more information about ovulation predictor kits, see our blog post: Using Ovulation Predictor Kits to Help You Get Pregnant? Here's What You Need to Know.

Can I edit a fertile window in the Fitbit app?

Tips

  • Instead of tapping the pencil icon, tap and hold your finger on a date on the calendar to add or edit a period.
  • Log your period consistently for more personalized predictions.

Why can’t I log or edit a period or menstrual health details in the Fitbit app?

Note that If you attempt to log a period in the future or a period with less than a one-day gap between periods, the pencil icon is unavailable. If you don’t see the pencil icon, make sure the period you’re attempting to log or edit meets all of the requirements.
