Plan for the year ahead with Clue Plus

Cycle tracking has many benefits, and we hear from Clue users all the time that the act of tracking symptoms has helped them discover patterns, feel more connected to their bodies, and even get early diagnoses of illnesses or conditions.

To get a better understanding of your cycles, you can use Clue’s Cycle Analysis feature. This gives you a detailed analysis of your typical cycle length, period length, and cycle length variation, and notifies you when it might be the right time to seek additional assistance from a healthcare provider.

Your menstrual cycle can let you know when everything is working as usual, when your body is going through a change, or when something is not as it should be. Some variation in your cycle can be common, but a cycle that is consistently out-of-range may be the first noticeable sign of an important change or underlying condition.

What do I get from Cycle Analysis?

Clue’s Cycle Analysis helps you learn what to expect from your body by giving you a personalized overview of your past cycle lengths, period lengths, and cycle length variation. You will see whether your cycle is considered typical or atypical, and possible reasons why this could be. This makes it easy to stay on top of your menstrual health—if any aspects of your cycle fall outside the usual clinical range for your age and birth control type, you will see a small “!” sign on your Analysis screen. Simply tap the “read more” button for more information.

Here’s what Analysis looks at:

Your cycle length is the number of days between the first day of your period and the day before your next period starts.

Your period length is the number of days that your period—your menstrual bleeding—lasts. In Clue these are the days where you have tracked light, medium or heavy flow.

Your cycle length variation is the variation in cycle length, measured in days, that occurs over a 12 month time span. You can think of this as the difference between cycles.

How can I get it?

You can use the Cycle Analysis feature as a Clue Plus user. To view the Cycle Analysis feature in the app, tap on the graph icon to the right of the “+” button from the cycle view home screen.

If you've been using Clue for six months you'll be able to see your full Cycle Analysis right away. If you’re new to Clue, you will see a basic Analysis after you enter one cycle, but you will need to track for at least two cycles before Clue’s Analysis tells you if you’re within typical ranges. To get an enhanced Analysis sooner, go into the calendar view and enter your past periods.
