Is there a way to predict when your next menstrual cycle will begin? I did have my period already started at the begining of this month on the 3rd finished yesterday the 7th. I am going on a trip at the begining of the month and I dont want to be on it and not enjoy my days off.

28 days from start to start is common. every woman is slightly different. it'll be close.

If you track your periods for a year or so you will have a good idea of how long your cycle is. If you haven't been doing that, then it is much harder to predict. Normal cycle times can vary from 21 to 45 days, with 30-33 most common.
Even knowing your normal cycle doesn't allow for perfect prediction as the individual cycles can vary a few days either way from your average.

Well, it's a bit hard if you haven't been tracking and aren't on birth control, but I'd likely say based on a standard cycle that you're looking to start again on the 30th or so. One way to check that would be to figure out when your period was the month before and check the number of days in between, then lead that out for the next month.
You could always try starting birth control to delay the period if it's that important. Kinda hard with less than a month's notice, though.

If you are average (28 days between cycle starts) then you are due to start on 12/1. If not on birth control those days are slightly more flexible, so a range of 11/29-12/3 isn't out of the question.
good luck!

Are you fairly regular? Are you new to menstruating?
Usually periods are every 28 days, but it varies from person to person. Some have them every 35 days.
