What is considered a normal menstrual cycle duration?

I can help you with that!

A normal menstrual cycle typically lasts between 21 and 35 days, with the average cycle duration being around 28 days. However, cycle lengths can vary from woman to woman and even from cycle to cycle for an individual woman.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s considered normal:

– Menstrual phase: 3-7 days (this is the bleeding phase)
– Follicular phase: 7-14 days (this is the hormone-building phase)
– Ovulation: usually occurs around day 14 (but can vary)
– Luteal phase: 10-16 days (this is the post-ovulation phase)

Keep in mind that some women may have shorter or longer cycles, and that’s still considered normal. Factors like age, lifestyle, and overall health can influence menstrual cycle length.
