A member asked:

What does it mean when i start my period 3 days before it was to start?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be normal: The normal range of length of the menstrual cycle is 25-35 days. I would consider this normal if this period came with all the typical accompanying symptoms (pms, breast tenderness, bloating, cramping).
