Counting starts on the first day of your period (ie: first day of bleeding is DAY 1). Not from the end or from the time of ovulation.
Periods can be anywhere from 28 to 32 days long.
A great website for charting is www.mymonthlycycles.com.
I used this because I could never predict my period because I was always told that a period last 28 days- so it wasn't until I was charting for a few months on the above website that I actually found out my cycles are routinely 32 days and now I can predict my periods to the day.

The first day you bleed is day 1 of your period and then you keep counting until you start your next cycle. I've been doing this since I'm 15 years old. And I'm always prepared.
BEWARE: If you lose or gain a significant amount of weight in a short period many times your cycle will change.

Count Day 1 as the day you get your period. Depending on how many days are in your cycle, your next period should come when you count X amount of days, starting from Day 1 of course.

Your period is at the end of your complete menstrual cycle. Your cycle begins at the end of your period, when your body begins to mature another egg and prepare the uterus for implantation. If the egg isn't fertilized, the uterine lining is sloughed off. This is your period. Usually a cycle lasts 28 days, but may vary greatly from woman to woman.

I'm a nurse. The first day it starts count the 28 days. If you are new having your period, please be advised that it's usually irregular for a few months until your body adjusts. I hope this helps you.

It goes by the day you start. You usually get your next one 28 - 32 days after the start of your last one.

You're really asking how to tell how long your cycle is. Day one of you cycle is day one of your period.
The average cycle is about 28 days, but the abnormal cycle is the absent one, provided you've reached menarche (first period).
