menstrual cycle?

Question

Why do I have 36-40 days between each period? Is this normal? I'm 50 kg and 170cm so I am not underweight! Could this cause problems when I want to get pregnant?

Answer 1

this was normal. Up until i got on the pill mine was about 38 days. It won't cause problems when you want to get pregnant it will just change your due date because of the cycle difference!!

Answer 2

Hi, Sage. Pheromones seem likely, but I don't know of any conclusive studies. Both menstruation and menarche can be affected by close association with men and women. Many postulations about the effect are centered on survival and reproduction, even competitive reproduction. Personally, I would think reproduction and competitive reproduction are the most likely. I couldn't figure how survival would come into play, unless it was something like schools of fish: It's thought that small fish who travel in schools make harder targets; their movement causes flashing, which draws attention in different directions, supposedly so a predator couldn't follow one target. Similarly, when menstrual cycles sync, all the women in the group get bitchy at the same time, making it nearly impossible for a man to single out one of them for retaliation. The man becomes confused, stymied, gives up and either swims off into the abyss to contemplate his existence, or beaches on a sand bar until dawn with his guy friends. ~Os

Answer 3

The menstrual cycle can vary up to 40 days, and still be totally normal.

The next time you have a check up, you should discuss this with your doctor.

As long as your periods are regular, you should have no problem getting pregnant, just because your cycle is long.

Answer 4

Some women have long cycles. You can go on birthcontrol to regulate it better if you wanted to.

I very rarely have a cycle under 34 days. Sometimes I skip them altogether but I seem to have no problem getting pregnant as I have been 3 times and all 3 were on the first time trying.

Answer 5

Anything from 21 days to 40 days is considered a normal cycle. You're fine.

Answer 6

I think there is no need to worry since it seems to have establish a regular cycle. Sometimes menstrual cycle has little to do with fertility but am of the opinion that you should see a doctor for further evaluation

Answer 7

how old are you if you have just started your menstrual cycle it is quite normal but if you haven't stress can slow them down as well if you are really worried see your family doctor or school nurse if your young don't worry they will get regular soon enough and you will be wishing you were back to getting them between 36-40 days apart
