I remember reading a post of how a TI deliberately took pills to "stimulate" having periods at a specific time of the month and he said his periods would last a specific amount of days. A woman's periods aren't that consistent. Sometimes her periods are a day late, some last a little longer and when she gets them, it's often inconvenient or a very inconvenient annoying mess to deal with. I'm using singular so any morons don't think that I'm being vague saying that "different women would have different periods from each other". I'm saying a single woman can have fluctuating cycles and it is always unplanned.

I remember reading that too. IIRC, the person always had their "period" start on the same numbered calendar day every month, LOL. Not only did he not take into account all the variations & fluctuations that occur in the length of women's cycles & periods, he also didn't take into account that different calendar months have different numbers of days - & that only one month, February, is the same length as the average menstrual cycle.He assumed women have 12 periods a year coz there are 12 months. When in fact, women whose cycles are regular usually have 13 periods a year coz except for February, all months are 30 or 31 days long.
