when doctors talk about a menstrual cycle in general, they are talking about a 28 day cycle, with day one of the cycle being the day your start your period, and day 28 being the day before you start your next period. however, every woman is different. some women have a cycle that is the exact same length each time but lasts, for example, 30 days, or 26 days. other women have irregular cycles and don't get their period like clockwork- one cycle could be 25 days and the next 33 days.

to use as an example: if a woman has a 28 day cycle, she starts her period on day one. some of the eggs start to develop around day 7. the lining of the uterus then begins to thicken in preparation for the implantation of a fertilized egg. one egg matures sufficiently and usually breaks out of the ovary around day 14 (ovulation).

the egg then begins travelling down the fallopian tube. if conception occurs, it is usually during this time- the sperm travels up into the fallopian tube and fertilizes the egg. if this happens, the fertilized egg continues its journey down through the fallopian tube into the uterus and implants in the uterine wall (which has been thickening to prepare for this). if implantation does not happen, the lining of the uterus starts to break down around day 25, and sheds/exits the body when the woman's next period begins on day one of her next cycle.

Does your period start the first day of every month?

No, it can start at any time. You might have thought your period starts on the first of each month because periods are "monthly," but this just means that the average woman gets their period every 28 days. Once you get your first period, it will take about a year for it to regulate. Once it does, you will get a period around the same time each month, or you will have about the same number of days between each one.

You had meanstration on October 10 when will you have again?

All cycles are different which means that the amount of days between each period can be higher or lower than the average. The average amount of time between periods is 28 days. I advise you to buy a little calendar so that you can highlight the days of your period. This will then show you the length of your cycle.
