When it ask.... number of days in cycle... do we count from the first day of our last period the month prior to the most recent start date of our period??? Sorry.. I know.. very confusing???
For example in August my start date was Aug 13 do I count from Aug 13 until Sept 6 (start of period in Sept) to count the number of days in that cycle? I am trying to figure out my most fertile dates in Sept... I think it is this weekend... but I am confused... can someone please help me with this .... Thanks

Make sure you know how long your cycle is. Most websites are based on a 28 day cycle that can throw you off missing your chance. I conjuction with charting your cycle you can use ovulation kits. Make sure you have intercourse the five days leading up to ovulation everyday or every other day, the day of and the day after. Waiting until you get that surge might be too late. You want the sperm waiting when the egg drops.
Try babydust.com good luck to you.
Count the first day of your period..... to the day before the next period is to start.

Everyone's cycle can be different. but you are right, your cycle is measured from the first day of your last period to your first day of your next period. For women who have a 28 to 32 day menstrual cycle, ovulation can take place between days 11 through 21.Remember this is just an average of days that ovulation could take place--every woman's cycle is different. A woman who has a 27-28 day cycle will most likely ovulate in the earlier part of the window. Those with a longer cycle will often ovulate later in the fertility window. To get an accurate day of ovulation for you, it is encouraged that you use one of the many methods discussed in fertility awareness, or by using an ovulation predictor kit.
Mark the date that corresponds to each day of your cycle, starting with the first day of your last period.

if you go to: www.mymonthlycycles.com you will find it a lot easier to figure this out. The day that you start your period is day one of your cycle until day one of the next cycle. It also helps to know what your luteal phase is. (how many days past your last period you start to ovulate) At this web site it does all the counting for you. I hope this helps, good luck.

I asked this question a lot! so don't worry! How you find out your cycle is... You count the first day of your last period, and count everyday till you start your period again. ( usually28 days) the first five days before your expected period is due,is your most fertile days. I hope I answered your question OK!

Yes, you count from the start of the previous period to the first day of the next one. Good luck!

I am also doing this! You start counting from the day your period starts..that is the start of your "new" cycle.
