Why is my period cycle a different number of days every month?
It's common for cycle length to vary by several days from month to month — a spread of up to about 7–9 days across cycles is within the typical range for many adults.
短い回答
Menstrual cycle length is counted from the first day of one period to the first day of the next. For adults, a cycle of 21–35 days is generally considered within a typical range; in adolescents, more variation is common. Stress, illness, significant weight changes, sleep disruption, and travel can all affect ovulation timing, which shifts the cycle length. Cyca's Insights screen shows your personal average cycle length (calculated from your last 6 logged cycles), your average period duration, and your variation (expressed as ± days) — giving you a concrete, data-driven picture of your own pattern over time. A variation of ±4 days or less shows as 'regular'; a wider spread is flagged as 'variable', which may be worth tracking more closely. If your cycle is consistently outside the 21–35 day range, or if it changes suddenly without a clear reason, that's worth discussing with a healthcare provider.

選ぶ前に確認すべきこと
- Cycle length = day 1 of period to day 1 of the next period (not from end to start)
- Typical adult range: 21–35 days; variation of ±7 days across cycles is common
- Ovulation timing shifts first — cycle length changes follow from this
- An app averages your recent cycles to make predictions; logging at least 3–6 cycles improves accuracy
- Consistently <21 days, >35 days, or sudden unexplained changes deserve a healthcare conversation

よくある質問
How does Cyca calculate my average cycle length?
It measures the interval between each pair of consecutive logged period starts, filters outliers (gaps under 15 or over 60 days), takes your most recent up to 6 cycles, and averages them. Until you've logged at least 2 periods, it uses your manually-entered setting as the default.
What does the '±' variation number mean in the Insights screen?
It's the difference between your shortest and longest recent cycle length. A variation of ±4 days or less is shown as 'regular'; a larger spread indicates more variability in your pattern.
My cycle runs about 32 days — is that a problem?
Cyca is not a medical tool and cannot tell you whether your cycle length is clinically significant. A 32-day cycle is within the commonly cited adult range of 21–35 days. Any concerns about your cycle — length, regularity, symptoms — should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
