Thank you. Also, is the length between cycles generally from 23-30 days as a normal range? Mine can vary by up to three days from month to month.

Brief Answer:
Normal length

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Yes. 23 to 30 days is a normal range.

If it is more than a month or 2 months, it could be due to conditions like polycystic ovary (PCO) or obesity which is normal and nothing to worry.
