Period Tracker

Knowledge is power. Tracking your cycle isn't just about hygiene; it's about understanding your mood, energy, and health. Predict your next period and spot irregularities instantly.

What this calculator does

• Next Period: When to expect Aunt Flo.
• Cycle Length: Are you a 28-day clock or a 35-day wanderer?
• PMS Warning: When to buy chocolate (Luteal Phase).

The Formula

It averages your last 3 cycles to predict the next one. $\text{Next Date} = \text{Last Date} + \text{Average Cycle Length}$

Unlike math class, here's what that means

• Regular: Same day every month (e.g., every 28 days).
• Irregular: Swings by >7 days. (Common in teens or perimenopause).
• Phases:
  1. Menstrual: Bleeding (Days 1-5).
  2. Follicular: Happy/Energetic (Days 6-13).
  3. Ovulation: Flirty/Fertile (Day 14).
  4. Luteal: Moody/Hungry (Days 15-28).

Example Calculation

Last Period: June 1st. Cycle: 30 Days.

1. Prediction: July 1st.
2. PMS Starts: ~June 23rd.
3. Ovulation: ~June 17th.

Did You Know? 💡

• Syncing: The "McClintock Effect" says women who live together sync periods. Modern science says it's likely just statistical coincidence, but every roommate swear it's true.
• Energy Spikes: You are strongest during the Follicular phase (Estrogen high). PR your deadlift then.
• Calories: Your BMR increases by ~100-300 calories/day during the Luteal phase (PMS). That hunger is real.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 21 days normal? Yes. Anything from 21 to 35 days is considered "normal."

Can stress delay it? Absolutely. Cortisol (stress hormone) steals resources from Progesterone (period hormone). High stress = Late period.

Does birth control fix irregularity? It "masks" it. The pill gives you a "withdrawal bleed," not a real period. It forces regularity but doesn't fix the underlying cause.
