Hi soso! I have a question, how many days between your periods?

Soso answered

Okay so, a typical menstrual cycle is usually 21 to 35 days long, and that's counted from the first day of one period until the first day of your next period. So the actual number of days between periods would be that total cycle length minus the days you're actually bleeding.

But here's the thing: when you're just starting out, like for the first year or two after your very first period, your cycle can be kind of all over the place. Like, seriously. Mine were so random at first, and that's totally normal. It can take a while for your body to figure out its rhythm.

Eventually, most people settle into a more predictable pattern. The best way to know what's normal for you is to keep track of when your period starts and ends. That way you can see your own pattern and even guess when the next one might show up. It's super helpful!

If you want to keep track of your periods and see your own patterns, the Soso app is literally made for that. It helps you log everything so you can understand your cycle better.
