Apply custom chart settings officially endorsed by fertility awareness institutes with a single tap! This feature supports you to chart with complete fidelity to your chosen fertility awareness-based method (FABM).
This feature also includes a dedicated period tracking mode with various symptoms and lifestyle factors using custom info lines.
Expected: Q2 2025
Improved welcome flow with customised onboarding pathways for those users who wish to do period tracking or fertility awareness charting with or without existing educational support.
We’re also adding a series of progressive discovery tooltips to orientate all new users to the app’s key features including navigational shortcut tips and how to unlock the power of custom info lines.
Expected: Q2 2025
Interpretations on chart: Mark your cervical fluid and temperature interpretations directly via the chart screen for an even more authentic and intuitive digital charting experience!
Temperature disturbances: Select up to three emojis representing the reason(s) for a disturbance whenever you mark a temperature reading as disturbed.
Count of six: Set a count of six to display on your chart for the six consecutive days / valid temperature readings leading up to a temperature rise. This helps with the ‘three over six’ charting rule.
Extended fertile window shading: We’re extending fertile window shading on the chart to display above / below the intimacy row. This also makes the shading available to those users who are not tracking intimacy.
Expected: Q2 2025
A dedicated app for real-time encrypted sharing of menstrual cycle charts and key information including daily fertility status.
You choose and control exactly what you wish to share. Designed specifically for use by spouses / partners of Read Your Body charters.
Crowfunder-supported beta testing spots will be made available for extensive early access before public launch.
Expected: Q4 2025
See when your next menstrual period is likely to start!
Optional period forecasts for lifestyle planning based on average luteal phase length when ovulation is confirmed.
Longer-range period forecasts could also be made available based on cycle length for those users with fairly regular menstrual cycles.
Expected: TBC
Discover your unique patterns by comparing trends in specific data items such as cyclical symptoms across different menstrual cycles.
Also enjoy a visual overview of the length of menstruation, follicular phase and luteal phase across different menstrual cycles.
Expected: TBC
Set up regular notifications to support consistent charting habits.
Create custom reminders for specific cycle day or days past ovulation.
Expected: TBC
Read Your Body already integrates directly with the Tempdrop app and allows manual entry of temperature readings from all other regular basal body temperature / wearable thermometers.
This feature would allow you to pull temperature readings into Read Your Body from popular thermometers such as Femometer, Apple watch and Oura ring via Apple Health / Google Fit.
Expected: TBC
Hormone test graphing would allow you to see quantitative hormone test values for E3G, LH, PDG and FSH plotted on a graph in the Read Your Body chart screen.
If there’s sufficient demand within our community then we may also be able to explore an integration with Mira which is currently being studied by Marquette method researchers.
Expected: Test
Set your calendar week day to start on Sunday or Monday.
Choose to see various items on your calendar screen in addition to fluid including peak day, temperature rise, hormone test results, intimacy and moon phases.
Expected: TBC
The ability to run the Read Your Body app with different settings for different menstrual cycles.
Ideal if you change fertility awareness-based methods during your body literacy journey or need specific settings for a limited time only (pregnancy / pregnancy loss / postpartum).
Expected: TBC
The ability to run the Read Your Body app with different settings for different menstrual cycles.
Ideal if you change fertility awareness-based methods during your body literacy journey or need specific settings for a limited time only (pregnancy / pregnancy loss / postpartum).
Expected: TBC
Custom app features designed to support tracking of symptoms, triggers and self-care relating to PCOS & endometriosis.
(Note that these can currently be tracked in the app using custom info lines.)
Layer these features onto fertility awareness-based method settings templates to bring even greater insights to your charts.
Expected: TBC
A web-based portal for fertility awareness educators & allied professionals to view and provide feedback on client charts.
Real-time encrypted data sharing controlled by Read Your Body app users. GDPR & HIPAA compliant.
This will be a significant new product developed in close consultation with fertility awareness educators.
Expected: TBC
A web-based portal for fertility awareness & reproductive health researchers with appropriate ethics approval & aligned study objectives to view anonymised charting data.
Anonymised charting data will only be transmitted to this research portal in an encrypted format if Read Your Body app users opt into sharing their charting data for this purpose (it will remain entirely possible / the default setting to use the app without sharing any anonymised charting data).
The portal will include an area for Read Your Body app users to view details of all studies underway, researcher bios, ethics approval, study objectives, key findings & webinars for public engagement.
This will be a significant new product developed in close consultation with aligned academic researchers & Read Your Body app users.
Expected: TBC
Kind on the eyes for early morning data entry & late night chart checking!

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Rather like ovulation in a menstrual cycle, the rollout of app features is a special event arising from the complex interplay of several factors all requiring the right conditions and care, meaning that it’s not possible to predict far in advance exactly when it will happen!
Once a feature is in beta testing, we can give an estimated rollout date which is always subject to a little change depending on the extent of feedback we receive and unexpected bugs that our developers may need to resolve.
If you’re keen to know approximately when a feature is likely to roll out, we suggest checking its current position in the roadmap relative to other features. If it’s a feature that you urgently wish to see delivered, please upvote it so that we can know it’s important to you.
