Get the free "Normal or Not" checklist

A physician-designed, two-page guide that helps women spot the signs of an irregular cycle — so you can understand what your body may be telling you.

What You’ll Receive

Your cycle is a vital sign — learn to read it

Normal or Not — The Cycle Health Checklist is a free, concise handout from Dr. Rachel Regan. It walks you through the observable signs of a healthy cycle and clearly marks the patterns — in cycle length, bleeding, spotting, and luteal phase — that may indicate something worth investigating. No jargon, no overwhelm: just a clear reference you can keep and share.

  • Normal vs. irregular cycle length (what the range actually is)
  • Bleeding pattern markers and what counts as "heavy"
  • Spotting: when it matters, when it likely does not
  • Luteal phase length and why it is often overlooked
  • A simple checklist: bring this to your next appointment

Normal or Not — The Cycle Health Checklist

Dr. Rachel Regan, MD · Board-Certified Family Medicine

Why it matters

Three reasons women love this guide

Spot the warning signs quickly

The handout lists the key markers — cycle length, bleeding pattern, spotting, and luteal phase length — so you know at a glance which patterns fall outside the normal range.

Know when to seek care

Not every irregular cycle needs a doctor visit — but some do. The guide helps you tell the difference and gives you language to describe your pattern to your physician.

Designed by a physician

Dr. Rachel Regan is a board-certified family medicine physician with NaProTechnology training. This resource reflects the same clinically grounded approach she brings to her writing and education.
