If you are having a regular ovulatory period, your symptoms can occur like clockwork. You have about 3-5 days of bleeding followed by a week or so of no bleeding until you ovulate. After you ovulate, you have 14 days before period starts again. The whole cycle lasts about 28 days, although it can be longer if you ovulate late.
