No reason, just curious.

I'm 28 and never tracked it before until I came off all hormonal contraception (just using condoms now) so downloaded an app and I seem to be on a bang on 26 day cycle and now I'm finding the whole thing quite interesting!

30 days ish.

WhatsGoingOnEh · 17/09/2018 20:29

Mine was always 30 days, until I hit 45 and got fibroids. Then it shortened to 21 days. Magic. 🙁

OraangeSoda · 17/09/2018 20:29

24 days.

Stickystickystick · 17/09/2018 20:29

24 days. Great if you are trying to conceive...crap if you aren't!

Charm23 · 17/09/2018 20:32

29 days!

NoLightInTheTunnel · 17/09/2018 20:33

Mine used to be 13 days Sad with an 8-day period. Luckily hit early menopause and have only had 3 periods in 2 years.

DramaAlpaca · 17/09/2018 20:34

Mine was always bang on 28 days until I hit perimenopause when it went haywire.

Ansumpasty · 17/09/2018 20:34

30-43 days, mostly

Frazzledkate · 17/09/2018 20:39

28 days bang on without fail. Just turned 40 so waiting for it to change really. Tbh I'm looking forward to menopause, no more stinky periods. Just hoping I get lucky and it's not too bad

5 and a half foot from tyre to tyre

I find it SO INTERESTING how much it varies from woman to woman.

And also interesting how every 26 days like clockwork... boom period.

Like I said I haven't paid any attention whatsoever to these things until the last six months so I'm a bit fascinated. I also didn't know that when you ovulate the egg is only viable for 12-24 hours afterwards!

32-35 days

IsTheRainEverComingBack · 17/09/2018 20:46

24 days. I’ve been tracking with Natural Cycles and it’s been amazing learning my body.

OpiningGambit · 17/09/2018 20:46

41 days according to my period tracking app. But I'm pretty irregular, so it varies from 35-56 days over a year.

keyboardjellyfish · 17/09/2018 20:47

Anywhere between 36 and 50 depending on what my body wants to do. PCOS is crap.

mineofuselessinformation · 17/09/2018 20:48

I don't have periods now (hysterectomy and other repairs due to pelvic organ prolapsed), but when I was in the full throes of endometriosis, it was between 21 and 47 days.

NameChangeCuddleBums · 17/09/2018 20:49

28 days. It is fascinating.

PickettBowtruckles · 17/09/2018 20:50

My shortest was 39 days I think, longest was 100. (This being after I came off contraception). Conceived on day 33 of a cycle so imagine that cycle would’ve been around 45ish days if I hadn’t got pregnant. No real pattern for me, just whenever my body decided apparently!

shapeshifter88 · 17/09/2018 20:50

my log says anything from 30 - 40 totally random over the last 2 years of tracking

Pascha · 17/09/2018 20:51

21-24 days with a 7-day period. I get two clear weeks usually.

Mumoftwoyoungkids · 17/09/2018 20:58

20 days. We’re pretty sure that I got pregnant with dd from having sex in the cycle before!

Since I was 18 a combination of the pill, the mini pill, the implant and breastfeeding means that I have only actually seen my natural cycles when ttcing.

Hogtini · 17/09/2018 20:59

Anything from 27-35.

NoLightInTheTunnel · 17/09/2018 21:02

With a 13 day cycle I thought I'd find it almost impossible to conceive, but all it took was one try and boom! Pregnant with twins!

polkadotpixie · 17/09/2018 21:05

It varied between 25-28 days before I got pregnant, usually about 26 days

I'm interested to see if it goes back to normal now I've had the baby. I hope so because I'd like another one soon
