More Than a Period Tracker

What makes menstrual cycle tracking in Garmin Connect better
than other apps? Easy. We care about your health across the board, not just
your period.

Garmin Connect is your one-stop shop for all your health and
wellness data, and it got even better when we added menstrual cycle tracking. Now
you can track your cycle, keep a daily log of how you feel physically and
mentally, and so much more. And these details live right alongside other health
monitoring features that keep you in tune with your body. Check out some of the
features you get in Garmin Connect that you can’t get with other period
trackers: 

Advanced Sleep Monitoring¹

Your
cycle can affect your sleep, and your sleep affects your overall well-being.
Cramps before and during your period can make it difficult to sleep, and
hormone changes during your
luteal phase can lead to decreased REM sleep. In Garmin Connect, you can
see a breakdown of light, deep and REM sleep stages each night. Keep track of
your sleep patterns during your cycle using the Menstrual Cycle Tracking
feature to see how it could be affecting your sleep.

Stress Tracking¹

Did you know that excess stress
can make your cramps worse? If your watch tracks stress levels, Garmin
Connect can show you if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day. If
your stress levels rise before or during your period, you can do a short
breathing activity or go for a walk to calm down and even help reduce the
effects of not-so-fun PMS symptoms.

Heart Rate¹

Did you know that your resting heart rate can
rise during and after ovulation? It is often an indicator of when you
are most fertile. Keep an eye on your heart rate patterns in Garmin Connect
using one of our wearables to monitor your heart rate 24/7² and keep
notes on your heart rate patterns in the Menstrual Cycle Tracking feature to
see how your heart rate changes coincide with your cycle.

These are just a few things you can keep track of in Garmin
Connect to help fuel your fitness, reach your goals and get more insight into
your menstrual cycle.
