43 day menstrual cycle - Is this ok or should I go see my GP?

Hi, for the last couple of years I have had a 43 day menstrual cycle.
Is this something I should be concerned about? Can it mean I have low levels of oestrogen? (hope I've spelled that right) Or maybe that I've been stressed with having a baby etc (Had her a year ago).
I was just ignoring it but now starting to think it's a bit odd and am wondering if anyone knew anything about this issue or could cast some light on why it's so long.

There are a few women who have different cycles, like 3 weeks or 6 weeks. Nobody can diagnose you, but if 43 days is normal for you and you had a baby while your cycles were like this, then don't worry. It is unusual to have such a long cycle, if it bothers you particularly then go and see your GP. You may have poly-cystic ovary syndrome, but that is unlikely. Do get it checked if you're worried.
