PCOS needs a different kind of tracker

Polycystic ovary syndrome, usually called PCOS, affects about 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. It can influence ovulation, androgen levels, insulin sensitivity, skin, hair growth, mood, and weight.

PCOS cycles are often irregular. Some women bleed every 35 to 45 days. Others may have cycles that stretch to 90 days or longer, or they may skip periods entirely for months. A tracker that repeatedly predicts a period that never arrives was not designed for that body.

Weight can also behave differently with PCOS. Insulin resistance is common, which means the body has more difficulty moving glucose from the bloodstream into cells. Higher insulin levels can promote fat storage and make weight loss slower than expected.

Women's GEM adjusts predictions for irregular cycles instead of forcing a 28-day template. It connects weight, symptoms, and cycle data in one place so users can bring organized evidence to specialist conversations.
