Abnormally long cycles

Posted by: april_kat on Thu Mar 18, 2010

Most normal cycles are around 28 days long but my cycle is naturally 40 days long! I'm told that I'm a relatively healthy girl and have nothing to worry about. It's just annoying that when I miss a period, I have to wait almost three months to see if I get one again, which is a lot of time to worry about if something is up. Plus PMS is horrible due to the longer cycle. I always come down with a cold/flu right before my period starts. My doctor has told me that I can fix my cycle with birth control pills but I don't think I should take medication if I am really healthy and don't need.

I think it would comfort me if I knew if there were other people out there that have long times between periods too. So how about it? Any one else out there with an abnormally long cycle too?
