Is my cycle regular?

Enter the dates when your last periods started: at least 3, ideally 4–6. The calculator will work out your cycle length and variation and tell you when to expect the next one.

When did your periods start

Dates are stored only in this browser and are not sent anywhere.

Normal ranges follow the FIGO classification: a cycle of 24 to 38 days, a difference of up to 7–9 days between your shortest and longest cycle, and a period of no more than 8 days. This is not a diagnosis. If your periods are very painful or heavy, or you bleed between periods or after sex, see a doctor even if your cycle is regular.
