The menstrual cycle is the monthly series of changes the body undergoes to prepare for pregnancy. It is counted from the first day of one period to the first day of the next. A cycle is not the same length for every woman, but it typically happens every 21 to 35 days and lasts 2 to 7 days.
It’s essential to track your cycle if you are trying to become pregnant or trying to prevent pregnancy. A missed period is one of the first clear pregnancy symptoms a woman notices.
Know if You Missed Your Period
Life is busy, and it can be easy to miss tracking your cycle regularly. If you want to prevent pregnancy or plan for pregnancy, tracking your cycle is a must.
Tracking your cycle is convenient for knowing when your next cycle will begin, and it’s also a great way to determine if your period is potentially late. A missed period is one of the common signs of pregnancy (though it’s not always due to pregnancy).
Be Aware of Potential Health Concerns
Are you worried about your irregular and maybe even non-existent period? Your menstrual cycle may be irregular or stop due to hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, major lifestyle changes, stress, and more.
Talking to your healthcare provider about any changes or concerns is crucial to protecting your health. Get the answers you need to take your next steps.
