Menstrual Cycle Insights
The menstrual cycle is considered a vital health indicator. Menstrual Cycle Insights goes beyond cycle and symptom tracking by connecting your cycle phases to your body’s physiological responses.
Key differentiators include:
- Biometric integration: Overlays cycle data phases with physiological data like heart rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate (RHR), and skin temperature
- Personalized coaching: Provides guidance on Sleep, Strain, and Stress based on your current cycle phase
- Pattern recognition: Identifies how hormonal changes affect your daily performance and recovery
- Symptom tracking and predictions: A comprehensive way to track how you feel with symptom predictions that help you plan ahead
Who can use Menstrual Cycle Insights?
Menstrual Cycle Insights is available to all members who menstruate, with features that adapt to your life.

Frequently asked questions about WHOOP menstrual cycle tracking
Does WHOOP predict ovulation for fertility tracking?
No, WHOOP does not predict ovulation for fertility purposes. All cycle phases are estimates designed for wellness and performance optimization only.
Can I use Menstrual Cycle Insights with hormonal birth control?
Yes. While you will not receive predictive phase-based insights, you can still log your cycle and symptoms. This allows you to track how your body responds and identify trends in your Sleep, Strain, and Recovery data over time.
How accurate are the cycle predictions?
Cycle predictions are estimates that improve over time as you log more data. Individual variability can affect accuracy.
What if my cycle is irregular?
You can still use Menstrual Cycle Insights to log your cycle and symptoms. While predictions may be less precise with an irregular cycle, tracking your data can still provide valuable insights into how your body's patterns correlate with your physiological metrics.
Menstrual Cycle Insights should not be used for conception or contraception, and all phases, including the ovulatory phase, are estimates.
