Yes, it is perfectly normal for you to have a 40 day menstrual cycle. The typical menstrual cycle is 28 days but everyone is different so your cycles may be longer, also some cycles will be a few days longer or there can be reasons for delayed menstruation.

Is 37 day cycle is a normal period or irregular?

Depends...per WebMD (http://women.webmd.com/tc/normal-menstrual-cycle-normal-menstrual-cycle), "The menstrual cycle is measured from the first day of menstrual bleeding, Day 1, up to Day 1 of your next menstrual bleeding. Although 28 days is often cited as the "regular" cycle length, only 15% of women actually have such a cycle." * A teen's cycles tend to be long (up to 45 days), growing shorter over several years. * Between ages 25 and 35, most women's cycles are regular, generally lasting 21 to 35 days. * Around ages 40 to 42, cycles tend to be the shortest and most regular. This is followed by 8 to 10 years of longer, less predictable cycles until menopause.


What happens if you go over 28days between each period?

Nothing at all, it's normal. 28 days is the average menstrual cycle length - everyone is different so not everyone will have a 28 day cycle, also it's normal for cycles to change over time and for there to be a few days variation from one cycle to the next. If you go over 28 days then that simply means that your cycle is longer than the average menstrual cycle. Rather than expecting your periods every 28 days you should determine your own average menstrual cycle length. One menstrual cycle is the number of days from the first day of your period up until your next period, you add all these days together over your last 6 cycles and then devide by 6 to get an average. There are various apps for your phone or web sites that figure out your average menstrual cycle length for you. Take my cycles for example; July 25 (35 day cycle) June 20 (32 day cycle) May 19 (32 day cycle) April 17 (27 day cycle) March 21 (31 day cycle) February 18 (26 day cycle) So my average menstrual cycle is 33 days - as long as my periods fall within 26 to 40 days they are still regular. So you see my cycle is longer than 28 days, and there can be a little variation from one cycle to the next, this is totally normal and healthy.

On average, a woman can lose around 30 to 40 milliliters of blood during her menstrual cycle. However, the amount can vary from person to person and cycle to cycle. If a woman is experiencing heavy bleeding (menorrhagia) and consistently losing more than 80 milliliters of blood per cycle, she should consult a healthcare provider.
