Light therapy? Really? Like, therapy involving lights?


If it's the same one I'm familiar with, the theory goes that since women
are on a moon cycle...


I'm not. Never was. Are (were) you?


"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 :-(

Everybody is different when it comes to this. Abby just turned one,
and I still haven't had a period. Ahhhh...Heaven!


Same here. In fact I hadn't had one for 3 months *before* I conceived
either so I'm 4 days shy of 2 years without seeing AF.


Color me jealous :-). AF returned at 10 months, nice and steady ever
since :-).

Her alter-ego, Lo Kee Ah, made up for it by sticking around for 7 weeks :-(.

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.

I've heard this before, but I'm skeptical. 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.

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.

Very similar.
