If you already use Flo to track your period, MigraineMe may be able to read that information so you do not have to enter it twice. The setup is different on iPhone and Android, so please follow the section for your phone.
Last known update
On Android, Flo does not currently share cycle data with other apps through Health Connect, even when Health Connect is installed on your phone. This is a choice made by the people who built Flo, not something we can change. If you have an Android phone, please skip ahead to the Android section below.
On iPhone, the link works well.
On iPhone
Flo writes your period data to Apple Health. MigraineMe reads from Apple Health. So you only need to give MigraineMe permission once.
- Open MigraineMe.
- Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen.
- Tap Connections.
- Find Apple Health and tap Connect. If it already says Connected, skip to step 6.
- A window from your iPhone will appear. Tap Turn On All (or make sure Menstruation is on), then Allow.
- Open the drawer again, tap Data and Notifications, and check the Menstruation switch is on. Connecting Apple Health turns it on for you.
MigraineMe copies up to a year of period days from Apple Health.
That is it. Whatever Flo has saved into Apple Health will now appear inside MigraineMe.
If the popup did not appear
Sometimes your iPhone remembers an old answer and skips the popup. To fix it:
- Close MigraineMe.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone (the grey gear, not MigraineMe).
- Tap Apps, then Health.
- Tap Data Access & Devices.
- Find MigraineMe in the list and tap it.
- Make sure Menstruation is turned on.
- Open MigraineMe again.
If you still see no data
Open the Flo app and make sure it is set to share with Apple Health. Inside Flo, look in its own settings for Apple Health and turn the switch on. Then come back to MigraineMe.
On Android
As mentioned at the top, Flo on Android does not share its data with Health Connect at the time of writing. So even if you turn everything on, MigraineMe will not see your Flo data.
If Flo starts supporting Health Connect later, here is how you would connect it:
- Open MigraineMe.
- Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen, then Connections.
- Find Health Connect and tap Connect.
- A Health Connect window will appear. Make sure Menstruation is on, then tap Allow.
- Open the drawer again, tap Data and Notifications, and turn on the Menstruation switch.
For now, the easiest path on Android is to log your period directly inside MigraineMe.
Logging directly in MigraineMe (recommended on Android)
This only takes a second a day.
- Open MigraineMe.
- Tap the Monitor tab at the bottom.
- Scroll to the Menstruation card and tap it.
- Under Log a Period, tap Select date.
- Pick today (or whichever day your period started) on the calendar.
- Tap Add.
Do this on the first day of each period. MigraineMe will use it to predict your next cycle and warn you on high-risk days.
You can also pick any past date in the same box to log a period after the fact, in case you forgot.
Privacy
MigraineMe never reads anything from Flo directly. On iPhone it only reads what Flo has chosen to share with Apple Health, and only after you tap Allow. You can turn this off at any time in Data and Notifications → Menstruation in the drawer. On iPhone, periods you log in MigraineMe are also saved to Apple Health.
