Call it your monthly visitor or chums or any other euphemism, female menstruation is here to stay! Once you know how to calculate the menstrual cycle, it can greatly minimize the anxiety of your next period.
Tracking periods is a good way to see if there is a pattern to your menstrual cycle. Moreover, tracking can help you gauge other symptoms including PMS, acne, headache, a high sex drive, and more. In case you are planning to conceive, tracking your period can help you identify your ovulation day.
How to calculate the date of my next period?
This bit is easy. Simply start on the first day of your last period and count out the number of days in your average cycle calculated above. That’s the estimated start date of your next period.
The average length of a menstrual cycle?
The typical menstrual cycle is 28 days which means you’ll get your period about every 28 days. In reality, though, these days vary from every woman and can be anywhere between 21 and 35 days, which is normal. As mentioned, in the beginning, your period will be slightly irregular with some misses, but it will normalize typically in a year.
