The length of a woman’s menstrual cycle varies from month to month. Several things, like stress, illness, changes in exercise or sleep patterns, can alter cycles, making periods come earlier or later than usual.
There were 23 days between the start of April’s bleeding and the start of May’s bleeding. Normal menstrual cycles can range from having a bleed every 21 days to every 32 days (or anything in between). Keep in mind, that the menstrual cycle begins on the first day of bleeding and is counted until the first day of the next bleed. Having bleeding at a 23 day interval would not be considered abnormal.
Keeping a log of your periods can also assist you in determining your most fertile times. There are many sites online that discuss the use of the “calendar method” to become pregnant. You may also want to discuss this with your ob/gyn doctor.
If you feel that you are having abnormal bleeding, contact your doctor to schedule an appointment for a gynecological exam.
