A typical menstrual cycle lasts between 21 and 35 days. A 21-day cycle means your period occurs more frequently. Although shorter than average, it’s generally considered within the normal range.
Ovulation and Fertility
Ovulation, the release of an egg, typically occurs about 14 days before the start of your next period. However, with a 21-day cycle, ovulation might occur around day 7. Sperm can survive for up to five days, so knowing your fertile window is crucial for conception.
Creating Your 21-Day Cycle Calendar
To create your personalized 21 day menstrual cycle calendar:
- Mark the First Day: Note the first day of your period on the calendar.
- Estimate Ovulation: For a 21-day cycle, estimate ovulation around day 7. However, this can vary so use other methods like ovulation predictor kits.
- Identify the Fertile Window: The fertile window includes the five days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself.
- Track Your Cycle: Monitor your cycle for a few months to identify any variations.
