Use Cycle Tracking on Apple Watch
Use the Cycle Tracking app 
to log details about your menstrual cycle. You can add flow information and record symptoms such as headaches or cramps. Using information you’ve logged, the Cycle Tracking app can alert you when it predicts that your next period or fertile window is about to start. In addition to data you’ve logged, Cycle Tracking can use heart rate data to improve predictions. If you wear Apple Watch Series 8 to sleep each night, the app can use wrist temperature to improve period predictions and provide retrospective ovulation estimates. For more information, see the iPhone User Guide and the Apple Support article Track your period with Cycle Tracking.

On iPhone, you can also log factors in the Health app that could impact your cycle, such as pregnancy, lactation, and contraceptive use. Depending on the factors you select, your period predictions, fertile window predictions, and on Apple Watch Series 8, retrospective ovulation estimates may be turned off on iPhone and Apple Watch. For more information, see the iPhone User Guide.
Important: The Cycle Tracking app should not be used as a form of birth control. Data from the Cycle Tracking app should not be used to diagnose a health condition.
