a. Duration of cycle: 21-35 days. On average 28 days.

b. Number of days of bleeding: 2-7 days.

c. Amount of bleeding : 5-80 ml. On average 30 ml.

The menstrual cycle can be divided into 2 phases:

1.Follicular phase/proliferative phase: main harmone is estrogen.

2.Luteal phase/ secretary phase : Main harmone is progesterone.

Ovulation occur on day 14 th of each cycle.
