The menstrual cycle is the time period between two periods, and it can vary from woman to woman. Therefore, this tool provides options to set the length of the menstrual cycle from 20 days to 45 days. By determining the exact length of your menstrual cycle, this tool can help you predict when your next period will come.
In addition, this tool can also calculate your fertile period. The fertile period is the time period when ovulation occurs, and is the most fertile time for a woman to get pregnant. In this tool, the fertile period is calculated based on general calculations that use a time range of 12-16 days before the next menstruation.
To use this tool, simply enter the length of your menstrual cycle and the date of your last first menstrual period, then press the "Calculate" button. This tool will provide results in the form of the date of the next menstruation and the range of fertile periods. These results can help you plan activities related to your menstrual cycle, including planning pregnancy or avoiding pregnancy.
