How do I figure out how many days my menstrual cycle is?!


Question:

How do I figure out how many days my menstrual cycle is?

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how many days my cycle is. I read online that some women have a 28 day cycle. I dont think that is me. My last few periods were..
April 21st for about 6/7 days
May 28th for about 6/7 days
its now June 29th and I still haven't started for this month.

Can someone please tell me how to figure how long my cycle is. Thanks!

I'm not on birthcontrol that wouldn't affect it.


Answers:

Mark your calendar on the day you start your period. This is day one. When you start your period again the next month, mark this day also. Count how many days from the first marked day to the next marked day the following month and this will tell you how many days in between your cycles.

For instance you period started on April 21 - mark that day. Your next cycle started on May 28th - mark that day. If you count the days your period came after 38 days. If your cycle is regular your next period should start on July 4th - Sorry!

Most women have their period every 26 - 28 days. Yours seems to have a longer wait period in between which is just fine - nothing to worry about. But, by marking your calendar every month and counting the days you will begin to see approximately when your period will come. It makes it easier to plan things this way!

Hope this helped!
