A menstrual cycle is counted from the first day of a period to the first day of the next. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days, but this can vary from person to person and month to month.

Your periods are still considered regular if they come every 24 to 38 days. Occasional fluctuations in symptoms, menstrual flow, and overall duration usually aren’t cause for concern. Your periods are considered irregular if the time between periods keeps changing and your periods come earlier or later.
