Understanding Your Cycle Phases

Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5)

Uterine lining sheds. You may experience cramps, fatigue, and mood changes. Flow is typically heaviest in the first 2-3 days.

Follicular Phase (Days 6-14)

Estrogen rises, energy increases. Follicles develop in ovaries. Many feel their best during this phase.

Ovulation Phase (Days 12-15)

Egg is released. Peak fertility. You may notice increased cervical mucus, mild cramping, and heightened senses.

Luteal Phase (Days 16-28)

Progesterone rises. PMS symptoms may occur: bloating, mood swings, breast tenderness. Body prepares for period or pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I track my menstrual cycle?

Track from the first day of one period to the first day of the next. Record start dates for several months to find your average. Most cycles are 21-35 days, with 28 being average. Apps or calendars help track patterns over time.

Why is my period irregular?

Irregular periods can result from stress, weight changes, excessive exercise, hormonal imbalances (like PCOS), thyroid issues, perimenopause, or starting/stopping birth control. Occasional irregularity is normal, but persistent changes warrant medical consultation.

What is a normal cycle length?

Normal cycles range from 21-35 days. The average is 28 days, but only about 15% of women have exactly 28-day cycles. Variation of a few days between cycles is normal. Consistently short (<21) or long (>35) cycles should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

How long should a period last?

A typical period lasts 3-7 days, with the heaviest flow in the first 2-3 days. Periods shorter than 2 days or longer than 7 days may indicate hormonal imbalances. Heavy bleeding soaking through protection hourly needs medical attention.

What are the phases of the menstrual cycle?

The cycle has 4 phases: 1) Menstrual (days 1-5): bleeding occurs. 2) Follicular (days 1-13): egg develops. 3) Ovulation (day 14): egg released. 4) Luteal (days 15-28): body prepares for potential pregnancy or next period.
