A menstrual cycle is counted from the first day of bleeding in one month to the first day of bleeding in the next month. The average menstrual cycle is about 28 days, but cycles that are 21â45 days also are normal. It may take 6 years or more after your period starts for your cycle to get regular.

You only lose about 1/4 cup blood during your period (although it can seem like more).
