Menstrual

Cycle regularity, missed and absent periods, bleeding, and pain. Your cycle is a performance signal, not just a monthly event.

Your result explained

Risk profiling: what Priority, Monitor and Routine mean in this area, why an athlete receives each result, and what happens next. You automatically receive the version matched to your result.

Priority
Getting on top of pain

Your management plan, evidence based options, and your review schedule.

Why you received this

You reported absent periods, three or more missed periods, an irregular or unpredictable cycle, severe period pain, very heavy bleeding, or symptoms regularly stopping you from training or playing.

Monitor
Track and adjust

Using FITR Women well, reading your patterns, and thresholds that warrant a consult.

Why you received this

You reported a cycle that varies, one or two missed periods, heavier bleeding, or period and premenstrual symptoms that sometimes change how you train or play.

Routine
Your cycle, your data

What a healthy cycle looks like in elite training and why it is worth tracking.

Why you received this

Your cycle is regular and within the usual range, you have not missed periods, and your symptoms are having little or no effect on training and play.

Energy

Your cycle is one of the clearest windows into whether you are fuelling for the work you are doing.

What opens the energy assessmentAbsent periods, three or more missed periods in 12 months, an irregular or unpredictable cycle, or a cycle longer than 35 days will open the energy assessment, because each is a recognised marker of low energy availability. These cycle markers cannot be read while you are using hormonal contraception, so for athletes on contraception the energy assessment opens on markers that do not depend on the cycle: a history of bone stress injury, restricted intake or concern about weight and shape, or persistent fatigue, recurrent injury and underperformance.
