For women either looking to get pregnant or not get pregnant by understanding exactly when they ovulate, basal body temperature (BBT) is a revolutionary metric, that gives women control over their fertility. Both Apple Watch and Oura are paired with the Natural Cycles App to provide this data. I love Whoop and don’t want to move, so I’m wondering in there’s any possibility of future access to BBT, or a plug in with the natural cycles app. Can I please put this as a vote for new features to develop if it’s not in the current pipeline. As a naturopathic doctor working in women’s health and fertility, this feature can prevent women having to take any hormonal birth control, which is revolutionary for women’s health.
Thanks so much for sharing this thoughtful feedback—it’s incredibly helpful to hear, especially from someone working so closely in women’s health and fertility. We know how important temperature-based trends can be for members looking to better understand their cycles.
While WHOOP doesn’t currently track true basal body temperature or integrate with Natural Cycles, we do monitor skin temperature trends. These signals shouldn’t be used for birth control or fertility tracking, but they can still offer helpful context as part of a broader view of your physiological patterns.
We’re always exploring ways to better support members through different life stages, and your feedback is truly valuable to our team. In the meantime, our Menstrual Cycle Insights feature helps track symptoms and physiological trends across the cycle—you can explore it in the Health tab under Hormonal Insights.
If the Apple Watch can be used to monitor skin temperature for cycle tracking, WHOOP should be able to do the same thing. Or am I understanding this wrong?
You would really do so many of us a great service if this feature is being released.
Currently in cycle insights it gives you the days that you have ovulated in the previous cycle as well as predictions for the current cycle. It seems that past ovulation must be calculated on the back of data, including BBT. Is it a case of Whoop already having the capacity and giving us the data, but just not yet being ready for accountability around accuracy? Which is of course understandable. But for those of us not using it as a contraceptive or to get pregnant, it would be great to know if this is the case.
Thanks so much! I find the data around cycle insights incredibly helpful.
I don’t have the impression that whoop uses any of the collected data for cycle predictions. It feels like just using calender information.
And It suggests e.g. that my next ovulation might be 3 to 4 days later than what my other app, with which I measure my basal temperature, is guessing. But hey, at least both apps are guessing the same start of period. Although whoop always thinks that the period might start 8 to 14 days after ovulation which is a rather large window.
I told whoop a couple of times my date of ovulation and after about half a year of usage it could know that my period starts 14 days later, but it doesnt care.
The female features seem to have a lot of potential for improvement I guess
