Explanation

The question of whether to track a menstrual cycle as one period or two separate cycles is not directly addressed by the provided references. These studies discuss topics like the effect of fluoxetine on menstrual cycle length, ovulation after medical abortion, and the timing of conception, but they do not specifically explain how to track menstrual cycles.

Considerations:

  • Medication Effects: Reference 1 discusses how medications like fluoxetine might affect cycle length, suggesting that medications can alter menstrual patterns.
  • Ovulation Timing: Reference 3 focuses on ovulation resumption, which may influence cycle tracking if ovulation occurs unexpectedly.

For accurate cycle tracking, consider factors like medication use, health changes, and consult a healthcare professional if needed. If you have concerns about mental health, visit 988lifeline.org.
