Many women usually know their menstrual cycle and predict when their normal organizing process will begin. A normal cycle is 25 to 38 days. You can find out by keeping a record of the period from the day your menstruation begins to the day it next begins. Some women also experience Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) before menstruation.
