Well, after being on the Pill for far too long, I have a regular every 3 weeks clear then a period for between 4-7 days.
However, as soon as I come off the Pill, my cycle reverts back to it's regular timing, which is irregular. Apparently I am lucky enough to have an irregular cycle which means I could come on every 2 weeks or every 5 weeks and I get no warning as such. Lovely. Used to be nerve wracking wearing any pale colours or going swimming (not that much blood came out when swimming) or staying in someone else's bed.
Never realised others had crappy irregular cycles too. Everyone else in my family is/was a 3 weeks off, one week on cycle, cept for me.
Glad to hear others have this problem.
Before the Pill, I had very heavy periods which started very heavy, then after 3 days got medium, then a few days lighter. I got lots of pain too and really bad mood swings - and I mean bad. Now, I have maybe one day heavy, two or three medium and then just spotting.
