its SUPPOSED to be every 28 days but that is just an average so it really varies for each person. just as long as you know about when it is supposed to be coming you can be prepared for its arival.

Most women have cycles that last from 21 to 35 days.
The first day of your menstrual period is considered Day 1 of your cycle. The menstrual phase includes your period. During this time, the endometrium (the built-up lining of the uterus) is shed, along with a little blood. After your period, your body starts producing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) which promotes the growth of a follicle (egg sac) within the ovary. FSH also stimulates the ovary to produce increasing amounts of estrogen. In turn, the estrogen causes endometrial tissue to build up, lining the interior of the uterus.
About Day 14, the egg bursts from the follicle about midway (approximately 2 weeks before onset of next menstrual period) through the menstrual cycle. This process is known as ovulation. The ovum then travels from the ovary down the fallopian tube, and into the uterus. Your body starts producing progesterone. Progesterone makes the endometrial lining stronger. If you don't get pregnant, the hormone levels will drop.
The dip in estrogen and progesterone at the end of the cycle help let the body know that it's time to start the cycle all over again.

day 1 of your period is day 1 of your cycle ... it averages 28 days but yours might be longer or shorter, and it may be regular or irregular. It's a handy thing to know, cos you ovulate in the middle, day 10 ish as far as I remember, and this is when you're at your most fertile, then your hormone levels fall and PMS starts to hit in if you suffer from any of those effects! Learning about your cycle and monitoring how it affects you (mood, energy levels, appetite, whatever!) can be interesting. There are also some occasions when you doctor could ask you to come in at a certain stage in your cycle (this has happened me several times, for smear tests and other stuff) so it's handy info to have!

First day is the first day of bleeding.
Then you count until the next bleeding starts.
The normal duration is from 21 to 35 days.
Get a calendar and mark when the bleeding starts and how many days it lasts.

you could rule out being pregnant. If' you have been pregnant it would have come again postive by ability of now fantastically in case you have been having "symptoms" for weeks. you're no longer pregnant. pass on your physician for a checkup and notice what's happening.
