How long is your menstrual cycle?

Mine is 24/5 days. They’re very regular but worried I’m going 5o be infertile as it seems like a short cycle

Anything between 24 and 32 days. Periods last between 5 and 8 days for me.

You just write down when your period starts for a few months to get an average.
Day 1 of your cycle is when you first get your period, and the last day is the day before your next period.

So for example if you started it on may the 5th and your next one was June 2nd then your cycle would be 27 days :smile:

Your cycle is the time between the first day of your last period and the first day of the next period

Mines been 24-40 days before. If its always that short then maybe speak to a doctor but if its irregular/just started it could be quite normal.

Regula cycles between 23-35 days are considered normal.
