Typically, a healthy menstrual cycle is 28 days long. Of course, it varies by 7 to 10 days from person to person. But if you skip a cycle or two or your periods are always 10 or more days late—then it’s a clear tell-tale sign that something is majorly wrong with your reproductive health.

On top of it, if your lifestyle is as sedentary as a sloth’s, then there are higher chances of your periods going haywire. In such a case, even PMS symptoms won’t give you a breather. 

But what if we can help you predict what your next cycle is going to be like? Thinking about whether it is really possible to predict the abnormality of your periods or not? Well, to an extent yes and this menstrual quiz can help you get periods ready.
