We seek to quantitatively represent menstrual histories from menarche menopause and evaluate clinical belief that regular stable cycle lengths most normative histories.Using prospective Tremin Trust, we classified 628 women as very (type I), but with greater variability in II), oscillating erratic a downward trend length III), no IV), or highly variable V).
