Hello, since this month I noticed a strange behavior with the period icon — it might be a bug or an unwanted “feature”. When I select the first day of my period (red circle), the next 4 days are automatically filled in, but they are not marked as “period” in the wellness section.
Also, if I manually try to mark the following days, another 4 days get auto-filled — now I have unwanted icons across 10 days. Can you please fix this? It’s quite inconvenient.
I did fix a bug in this area approx 2 weeks ago, I am looking into this.
I have had a look and I think the system is behaving correctly. It uses the number of period days and the number of days in the cycle to predict future cycles. This happens as soon as there are 2 or more cycles. So if you start with this:
And make Mon 21st April a period day then the prediction algorithm fills in the rest of the week (and some future weeks e.g. 19th of May):
Thanks for the explanation! I see how the system works now, but to be honest, I find this feature a bit frustrating. Since the number of period days can vary each month, having a fixed number of days auto-filled doesn’t really suit my needs.
I’ve also created some custom charts, and they end up slightly off because of this automatic filling. Is there a way to turn this feature off or customize it? I’d really prefer to mark the days manually.
The number of days taken from the average of the previous 3 cycles so it isn’t fixed. Also as soon as a predicted period day is today or in the past you can fill in the actual value.
I have changed the meaning of the menstrual cycle setting on the /settings page:
If this is set to “Do not track” then Intervals.icu will not attempt to predict future cycles but the athlete can still capture period days manually.
If this is set to “Track” then Intervals.icu will attempt to predict future cycles as described above.
I will deploy this change on Wed AM (GMT+2).

Regarding the privacy circle, could we have the option to change the visibility settings for other wellness data as well, not just the menstrual cycle?
I do have that on the todo list. Has come up several times already.

Probably easiest was to implement this would be to have a configurable list of wellness stuff that has extra privacy control (currently that is just menstrual cycle).
