when do you start counting for your next period? from the day you start or from the day that you end?

Answer 1

You don't mention what you are counting for. Are you trying to determine your ovulation time or just how many days between cycles? The first day of your period is day 1 and for the purpose of determining ovulation you count forward to 14.If you have a "regular"cycle this day is the likeliest for ovulation. People that are trying to avoid pregnancy avoid this day and 3 days before and 3 days after for a total avoidance time of 7 days. Or, if trying to become pregnant to concentrate efforts on these days. In relation to determining your cycle you also count from the first day you start. This ovulation prediction method is not considered a valid method of birth control.

Answer 2

You begin to start counting the days of your period from the days it begins. But when you start counting for the next one, you begin to count the day after it ends. It's very important to keep track of both just in case something goes wrong when the next one is coming and your doctor really needs to know in order to help you. But I hope nothing doesn't. Be careful and be on track!!!!

Answer 3

Well, you can't really just "count" and figure out when you'll get it next. You have to try to figure out how your body's cycle works--some women have long cycles of over 28 days, some have short cycles of less than that. To try to get an idea of your own cycle, you could count from the beginning, the end, the middle... wherever you want! And unless you are on birth control or have an incredibly perfect cycle (which few women do!), it won't always happen the same amount of days after the last one.

Answer 4

Start counting from the day you start. Your period may not always end on the same number of days even if your cycle is always the same number of days, therefore counting at the end would be much less accurate.

Answer 5

Begin with the second day of your bleeding period. Count the days to the start of your next bleeding period. You should include the day of your next period. Or you can count from the first day of your bleeding period to the day before your next period. This is not including the day of your next period. Both of these counting methods would result in the same answer.

Answer 6

Typically you count fromt he day you start, but each woman has a different pattern. Look at the past two months and count the days. Note the pattern, plot that many days in between this period and the next and see how accurate you are.

Answer 7

From the first day of 1 period to he first day of the next.

Answer 8

I start counting from the next day of my period. That is the way it goes when taking birth control pills.

Answer 9

From the day you start.

Answer 10

From the day you start.
