Question 1

How do I calculate my next period?

Accepted Answer

Count forward from the first day of your last period by your average cycle length. For a 28-day cycle, your next period starts 28 days after the last one began. Our calculator predicts your next several periods based on your cycle length and period duration.

Question 2

Why is my period late?

Accepted Answer

A late period can be caused by pregnancy, stress, significant weight changes, intense exercise, hormonal conditions (like PCOS or thyroid disorders), travel, or changes in medication. If your period is more than a week late and pregnancy is possible, take a pregnancy test. Consult a healthcare provider for irregular cycles.

Question 3

What is a normal menstrual cycle length?

Accepted Answer

A normal cycle ranges from 21 to 35 days in adults, with bleeding lasting 2–7 days. Cycles vary naturally. If your cycles are consistently shorter than 21 days, longer than 35 days, or very irregular, speak with a healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions.

Question 4

Can I get pregnant right after my period?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible, especially if you have a short cycle. Sperm can survive up to 5 days, and if you ovulate early (around day 10), intercourse near the end of your period could result in pregnancy. If you are trying to avoid pregnancy, track ovulation and use reliable contraception.
