I’ve heard WHOOP can track menstrual cycles…what kind of data does it provide, and how can I use it?

Thanks so much for asking! WHOOP’s Menstrual Cycle Insights is designed to help you build a deeper understanding of your body, not just your training. It connects the dots between your physiology and your cycle so you can make more informed decisions day to day.

Here’s how it supports you:

  • Phase-Based Insights: You’ll get personalized guidance on recovery, strain, and sleep that reflects where you are in your cycle.
  • Support for Hormonal Birth Control Users: If you use hormonal birth control, your insights adjust accordingly to reflect your unique patterns.
  • Trends Over Time: WHOOP tracks changes in HRV, resting heart rate, skin temperature, and more, so you can see how your body responds throughout your cycle.
  • Cycle Logging: You can log your period, symptoms, and ovulation either in the feature or through the Journal to better track what’s happening for you.
  • Training Alignment: The feature helps you understand how shifts in hormones can influence things like strength, recovery, and energy—so you can train in ways that feel more supportive of your body.

Ultimately, it’s about helping you learn what your body needs and when—not just to improve performance, but to feel more in tune with yourself.
