Why do I have a longer cycle??

You would think I would have noticed this but it has actually taken me until now that I?m not late every month as I thought, but my period is every 33 days. I have just worked it out and its bang on every 33 days.

I?m utterly clueless, what does this mean? What makes it take longer?

That is just normal for you!

Mine is every 24 days.

It doesn't mean you are always late, it's just that 33 days is normal for you. I'm quite envious really

Mine can be around 30-34 days (not always regular), i ovulate around 18 days (i think).

Not realy sure what makes it this long bu my periods are all over the place at the momment , i am a week late this month but not sure if this is to do with an extra long period last month.

This might help explain things here

mine is also between 30 and 34 days, although am on day 35 at moment and no sign of af!
long cycles are 'normal' too i believe.

it is the first half of your cycle (i.e. between period and ovulating) that is longer than someone with a 28 day cycle.

it is perfectly normal- cycles can vary from every 22 days to every 35 in women- everyone is different. 28 days is an average- very few women have 28 day cycles.

Completely normal. Mine's 35.

Mine is between 37 and 40 days. I started noting down dates about 14 months ago. Before then I wouldn't have had a clue.

Mines consistently 45 days.
