Examples of the Types of Menstrual Cycles

Faṭimah: Can you give an example for each type?

Mother: Yes, why not!

1.
If a woman sees blood on the 15th day of each month for the past two months and becomes clean on the 20th day, she has a fixed habit in terms of the time and duration of menses which is for five days.

2.
If a woman sees blood on the 1st day of each month for the past two months, but the days she becomes clean are irregular—for example, she becomes clean on the 8th day in the first month and the 6th day in the second month—she only has a "fixed-time" habit.

3.
If a woman has seen blood for seven days in the past two months, but the time it starts and ends is not the same—for example, in the first month, she bleeds from the 1st to the 7th day, and in the second month, she bleeds from the 10th to the 17th day—she only has a fixed habit in terms of the duration of menstruation which is seven days.
