26 Day Cycle Overview
Ovulation: Day 12

High Fertility: Day 713 | Next Period: Day 27

Phase Breakdown & Health

A 26-day cycle is composed of two main halves. The first is your Follicular Phase (lasting roughly 12 days). The second is your Luteal Phase, which is structurally fixed at around 14 days. If you recently stopped hormonal birth control, expect it to take 3-6 months for your natural 26-day rhythm to fully stabilize.
