No rule of thumb: Unfortunately, there is no rule of thumb, how long distance flights with changing time zones will affect a woman's menstrual cycle.There may be no effect at all, or there may be irregular bleeding with an on again/off again pattern that will stabilize, once the body has adjusted to the new time zone. It takes the body about 1 day to adjust for 1 hr time difference.
