A member asked:
I usually get my period at the end of every month but february is a shorter month, it stops at the 28. so would i get it in the beginning of march?

Well: Most women with regular periods count by the number of days the period lasts - not by the calendar date. For instance, if you have a 30 day menstrual cycle ; february is a short month - then yes, your next period is likely to be in early march. Expecting your period to come on the same day of every month isn't accurate because months have differing lengths.

Yes: Our bodies cycles don't know about calendars. Some bodies do keep excellent time but they just don't know what day or month it is. An average menstrual cycle is 28 days - yours sounds more like 30 but that is just fine. Best!
