Four weeks is not a month
Twenty-eight days is two to three days shorter than almost every calendar month, and the gap compounds: thirteen four-week cycles fit into a year rather than twelve. Anyone paid "every four weeks" receives thirteen payments a year, not twelve, which is why the pay date drifts earlier each month.
The comparison above shows today's gap between the four-week date and the one-month date.
Why medicine counts in weeks
Clinical scheduling — pregnancy, treatment courses, recovery milestones — almost always counts weeks rather than months, precisely because a week is a fixed length and a month is not. When a clinic says "come back in four weeks", they mean twenty-eight days, and the date above is that day.
