This would be a great first step, an would allow in future the generation of overlays e.g.: of the " Self Evaluation" and “Perceived Effort” and the time of the menstruation cycle.
I also suggest, to extend your model of menstrual cycle by: follicular, ovulation, luteral, menstrual phase.
It might be even possible, in future, to integrate data from cycle trackers (e.g. like tracke), which are able do forecasts about cycles in the future - this information allows female athletes, to plan trainings based on their expected cycle.
You might need to adjust your gender in order find the menstrual cycle entry:
Basically Garmin asks about the average cycle length and the last day of the period and uses this data to do an approximation, about the cycle phase.
Garmins intend of the menstrual tracking feature seems to be a more a general approach; supporting woman to detect different kind of pattern in their day to day life; e.g. it is possible track “symptoms” like cravings, acne, mood and sex drive through each cycle; it is also possible to enter an ovulation date; which increases the accuracy of the cycle information.
I do not expect (and do not want) to import data about my “Symptoms” to icu; but importing the phase of my cycle and see this in my calendar function would be highly appreciated.
I will see what I can do about that. I am bit snowed with the big influx of new users and associated support at the moment, have more bugs to fix and need to implement steps first. But it is on the list!
Intervals.icu already has internal support for all the phases. I decided to dumb things down a bit and just stick to the basics.
@app4g yes: I could imagine such a solution as beneficial:
e.g. red - Menstruation, Green Follicular Phase, Blue Luteal Phase; (in order to be complete) I would also add the ovulation Phase e.g. purple
I’ve made some progress. Managed to get all the phases (period/Follicular/ovulating/luteal) from Garmin and I found that Intervals.icu alry supports API upload of the menstrual cycle data (my next step)
However, I tried selecting menstrual Cycle as part of my Wellness Fields, but can’t seem to find it being an option to be displayed. I also tried changing my gender to female. Can you help verify if you can manually enter these menstrual cycle data currently? (David mentioned that he already has internal support for these, but I’ve not been able to find it)
Menstrual Cycle Selected, but it’s not available as an input/display field on the wellness user input box.
Okay… seems to work. For now, I’ve hardcoded the start and end dates, but when I release this, it will query for 2 months (take today’s date, start of month, to end of next month). I need this to get the entire cycle. Period to Period each time.
internally, intervals.icu supports the 4 phases, and when I upload, it will also upload the 4 phases. But currently intervals.icu will only show Period and Ovulating
Hey, I’m finding this a little confusing. I’m trying to import my partners historical Menstrual Cycle data from Garmin into Intervals. In the above example I looks like a 3rd party app is being used? is this the only way?
Aside from that I’m a little lost and cannot figure out how to pull this data from Garmin.
Hello! I’m coaching a few female athletes and I’ve talked to some of them regarding the possibility of tracking their menstrual cycle. I was wondering if the data from the corresponding field “Period/Ovulataing” is supposed to get filled from the information that intervals gets from Garmin Connect.
I’ve asked one of them to use the Garmin Connect tracker for menstrual cycle and it does not get automatically filled up when an input is given on Garmin. Is this field supposed to be completed by hand or there’s something that is not making it work correctly?
