"standard" cycles are 28 ish days, like the moon. We're pretty removed from any natural influences, so it's not unusual not to be, imo. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome, not on ANY cycle :-( |

Actually I haven't had af since...hmmm...April of 2001. I had a missed miscarriage, and Presto, right away here's Abby! I am going to forget everything... I do get a bit crampy soemtimes, around that time, but nothing ever comes of it. Before mine came back (Gabe was almost 18 months), I used to have a ball with that at doctors' offices. I got such curious looks when I'd be asked about my LMP and would unconcernedly report a date over two years earlier. Best part was that I could then proudly explain that I was breastfeeding. -- iphigenia www.tristyn.net |

Do all women in rural areas -- away from light polution -- menstruate on the same day? When I've asked my friends about this, the only ones with 28-day cycles were on the Pill. -- Sara, accompanied by the baby barnacle I check this e-mail account infrequently |

period
When I've asked my friends about this, the only ones with 28-day
cycles were on the Pill. I've always had very regular cycles, 27 to 29 days. In fact I've gone months at a time with my periods always falling on the same day of the week. Among my female friends (those with whom I've discussed the subject, anyway), I'm the only one I can think of who has never used hormonal birth control, though I do have a friend who tried the pill and promptly quit on finding she got nasty side effects. Same here with the regularity, although I have used the pill a few times. You would think with a yes-please-all-night-long nursling eating all of about a tablespoon of solids a day I wouldn't be on a 29-day cycle, but I am, and have been since January with one slightly longer cycle right at the resumption of menses. -- Caryn mama to Oscar, 10/20/02 |
