Menstrual Tracking for Men?

I know i suffer from male PMS on occasion, but shouldn't this app be smart enough to remove this feature if the user is a male or give us the option to remove it?

This was inadvertently turned on for users who selected Male in their profiles. This has been resolved and cleaned up. Any users who are still seeing this should reply to this post so we know if we need…

You can turn this off. User settings - scroll down to menstrual cycle and choose "cycle type - no period".

Yeah, pretty stupid that this automatically loads for people who specify gender as male…

I’m still receiving the menstrual cycle symptoms reminder with my fenix 6x sapphire watch. Gender is set to male and period is set to none. How do I stop the reminder messages?

Yeah I’m getting notifications to log my cycle despite being male and having my profile set to no periods etc. Using a Vivoactive 3.

I just received the weekly reminder on my Fenix 5, as I do every Sunday night. I’ve confirmed my account is set to Male, and do not have the Menstrual Cycle options in User Settings. I’ve been banking on an update, with the fix, but the last few updates have not resolved the issue.

How to turn off menstrual tracking and how can I remove it from my favorites list?

0 Former Member over 5 years ago

I changed my gender to male because I HATE this feature and wish there was a way to turn it off but apparently to Garmin, once a female always a female and I get my weekly reminders to not to forget to track my cycle and I am set to "NO CYCLE" and I'm now listed as a MALE

It is incredible more than six month ! Just let us remove it by configuration ! or just add "if sex == male hide Menstrual" in your code ! And it is not because there is "Men" in "MENstrual" that it should be visible for men !

As of today, 6/5/2020, I also am a male who still gets this message. It is simply irritating to have to clear a message that shouldn’t be there in the first place. I have a Vivoactive 4 that I just recently purchased

Please fix this bug

thanks

WTH Garmin should make special edition for men

Perhaps this has been fixed, we shall see next month. Logging into garmin connect via the web, I found a red button on the bottom of menstrual cycle page labeled “stop tracking”. Once I clicked it, the page updated to “ready to start tracking?”.
