HOW LONG SHOULD MY MENSTRUAL CYCLE BE? ⁠ ⁠ If you're a practitioner, I teach about this and MANY other aspects of the menstrual cycle in my Women's Hormone Health Certification Program, enrolling now. Link in bio or my stories 😃⁠ ⁠ The length of your cycle is the number of days between periods, including the first day of your period until the day before your next period starts.⁠ ⁠ ➡️➡️ Cycle length is determined by the day ovulation occurs, because the corpus luteum disintegrates causing the luteal phase to not last longer than 17 days.⁠ ⁠ The average length of a cycle is 29 days. ⁠ ⁠ There is a persistent belief that each and every menstrual cycle should be 28 days long, with ovulation occurring on day 14.⁠ ⁠ ❗Very few women have a consistent 28-day cycle.⁠ ⁠ Practitioners differ regarding what constitutes a normal menstrual cycle length, with studies showing that a healthy cycle can fall within the range of 21 to 35 days.⁠ ⁠ However, in my experience, a 25-35 day cycle is ideal for optimal hormone health and fertility. 👍⁠ ⁠ Women with cycles shorter than 24 days tend to have lower progesterone or excess estrogen and too short luteal phases, which can impair their ability to get pregnant. ⁠ ⁠ So, while these shorter cycles might technically be considered “healthy,” remember that fertility and menstrual health are intricately tied together.⁠ ⁠ While pregnancy might not be your endgame, it is your body’s, and a truly healthy cycle is one that gives your body a chance to reach this goal.⁠ ⁠ 👉Do you need a little help to figure out how to track your menstrual cycle?⁠ ⁠📈 ⁠ ⁠ See chapter 1 in my book Fix Your Period.🩸Link in bio!⁠ ⁠ And if you're a practitioner, check out the curriculum for my Women's Hormone Health Certification - in my stories!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #menstrualcycle #fourphases #ovulation #follicularphase #lutealphase #menstruation #cycleseasons #cycle #periodhealth #womenshealth #fixyourperiod #bodyliteracy
