Hypnotists can calibrate (and have often done so) a woman’s menstrual cycle to almost any desired time period.

For example, over 100 years ago, some women were hypnotized to conveniently start their cycle on the first day of each month — it didn’t matter that the days varied from 28 to 31 days.

British sexologist Havelock Ellis (1859-1939) covered this subject extensively.

Havelock Ellis cited many amazing menstrual irregularities, including — are you ready for this? — a woman who regularly had her cycle through her nose!
