A menstrual cycle is measured from the
first day of menstrual bleeding (Day 1) by
counting the number of days until the next
menstrual bleeding. From day 1 of the
bleeding to day 1 of the next time of
bleeding is "the menstrual cycle". An
average menstrual cycle lasts about 28
days, but it' s normal to have menstrual
cycle that lasts from 21 to 35 days.
Problems conceiving may originate from
both partners, so diagnostic examinations
should be done by both...although it's
easier to start with the man's
diagnostics. The tests are less
complicated and take a relatively short
amount of time.
