This tool helps you estimate the start date of your next menstrual period based on your previous cycles.
How to use the Period Estimator Calculator
To use this calculator, you’ll need to input the following details:
- First day of your last period: The date when your last menstrual cycle began.
- Cycle length: The number of days from the first day of your last period to the first day of your next period. The average is 28 days, but this can vary.
- Period length: The number of days your period typically lasts.
Click the “Calculate” button to estimate the first day of your next period.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator uses the date of the first day of your last period and your cycle length to estimate the first day of your next period. It adds the cycle length to the date of your last period to generate the result. While this method works for many women, menstrual cycles can vary due to factors such as stress, diet, physical activity, and hormonal changes.
