37 days after the last one...

My period started this morning; it was brown and bitty as sometimes it likes to be.

Thank you for your kind attention.

since you asked (sort of):
the shortest i've ever noted my cycle to be is 35 days, it's usually forty-something, and once in a while i essentially skip a month and will have a break of something around sixty days before my next one. surprisingly though, i never have trouble predicting when the next one's going to start - i'll find myself thinking about it and checking i've got enough supplies and stuff, and then two or three days later it happens.
although i don't like the irregularity, i don't mind that it can be so long in between bleedings; super-plus size tampons apparently absorb 12-15g of blood, and if you're changing every three hours for three or four days before switching down to 'super' size for another three days... well, it sounds like a scarily large amount to me.
and the cramps are an absolute bitch.
although i've got PCOS, i refused to let the doc put me on the pill - he'd said that it was highly likely it'd give me more problems with water retention, hair falling out, even more difficulty losing weight and so on, but he still wanted to put me on it. i decided to see what a healthy diet and homeopathic treatments did for me instead *wry smile*
