A change in menstrual cycle is often a symptom of a variety of health issues in women. The more you understand about your body and the menstrual cycle, the more quickly you can know if something is amiss. It is important to track menstrual period and the cycle for some reasons. Why Is Menstrual Period Important To Track? The average length of the menstrual cycle is 28 days but varies from person to person.
In general, menstrual period is the number of days you bleed regularly and menstrual cycle is the number of days from first day of your last period (LMP) to a day before your next period starts. You should not count the first day of your next period because that day will fall under the next menstrual cycle. Now, if your next period started on April 2, then your menstrual cycle length is the number of days from March 4 to April 1 (a day before your next period), which is 29 days. Let's say you bleed for five days, so, the duration of your menstrual period is five days for the month of March. So the first day of your menstrual cycle is March 4. For instance, you started spotting on March 3, but the actual bleeding began a day later. In general, bleeding is there for three to five days and differs from one woman to another.Īn important point to note is that the cycle begins from the day of your regular bleeding but not spotting. In other words, day one of the cycle is the day one of your period, cycle day two is the second day of your period and so on. The menstrual cycle begins on the first day of your period.
