2. Track Your Period: There are free period-tracking apps that can help. To get started, go to an app store like Google Play or Opera app store. Search for period trackers and then download the app. It'll calcolate your cycle and show when your next period will start.

Mark down the first day of your period. Then note the first day of your next 2 periods. Count the number of days from the start of one period to the next one. If you count 28 days then this means your next period will probably start 28 days after the first day of your last period. Set a reminder on your calendar so you don’t forget.
