Phase Detail explains what each of the four main cycle phases means and shows your personal phase lengths and tracking for the cycle range you pick. Open Reports → Overview, scroll past the trend chart to the phase breakdown rows, and tap Menstrual, Follicular, Ovulatory, or Luteal.
What Phase Detail shows
- Four main phases only—Menstrual, Follicular, Ovulatory, and Luteal; no atypical intermenstrual phase rows.
- The phase description paragraph is fixed educational copy in the app—not personalized medical advice.
- Average lengths on Overview rows and the Phase Detail chart caption are whole days rounded from your logged phase dates—not clinical norms.
- Tracking History on Phase Detail includes logs during instances of the selected phase across cycles in range—not every log in the date span.
- Changing cycle range pills reloads the chart, tracking history, and phase history—same behavior as other Overview detail screens.
- Statistics are personal insights from your logs—not clinical diagnoses.

Logged cycles
Requires logged period and cycle data—empty or hidden sections when no cycles fall in the selected range.
What each phase means
01
Menstrual
Begins day 1 when bleeding starts; low estrogen and progesterone. Some PMDD users feel relief from luteal symptoms during this phase.
02
Follicular
Educational copy references day 1 through ovulation, but the in-app analysis footnote measures Follicular from when Menstrual ends until ovulation begins—match that footnote when comparing your averages to the description.
03
Ovulatory
Mid-cycle egg release; copy notes a brief 1–3 day phase. Some PMDD users report an ovulation flare.
04
Luteal
Post-ovulation progesterone rise; often the most challenging phase for PMDD. Tracking helps spot personal patterns across cycles.

- Phase description—what the four main phases mean in educational copy.
- Length chart—how long this phase tends to last across your logged cycles.
- Tracking and history—symptoms, life factors, and past instances scoped to this phase.
✦Log periods across at least two full cycles before leaning on phase-length trends—one cycle of data can be noisy. Phase descriptions summarize general cycle biology; your averages reflect what you logged on this device to spot patterns you may discuss with a clinician—not for self-diagnosis.
