    so far mine has gone from a consistent 30 days to a completely random 21-25 days with a very rare 50 days thrown into the mix...it's a giant pain in the booty

    It's all the new normal, right? Lately, mine go away for 5-6 months...giving me some hope that I'm done...then bam!...a month or 2 of mostly regular periods. Sometimes heavy, sometimes almost nothing. It seems extra stress is what will trigger mine. I can't wait to be over this.

    Let's not even talk about the extreme hot and cold flashes happening now that it's summer...

    Was disappointed myself there recently too. 66 days without and then ... after the disbelief worn off, I had a second or two of thinking I could have one more baby and be fertile ... and then I went argh f# that. I can be equally amazing without periods. Twas a bit of a rollercoaster. So got me thinking perhaps the nonsense and differences each cycle towards the end are so we go phew .. instead of going into shock .. lol

    This happening to me, too. I had a 6-day period, went a week, and then had a 4-day period. And now when I'm "regular", it's about every 23-25 days. I've decided that my ovaries are having a blowout BOGO sale: "Eggs two for one! Come and get 'em while you've still got 'em!" UGH!!! lol

    Evening Primrose oil pills helped me tremendously with PMS.

    I have been very steady 27-28 day cycles forever, then 67 days missed and was hoping I would be done but now back to 27 day cycles:( I am not having hot flashes but am having terrible headaches and cranky as hell lol. I also gained a bigger gut and my muscles in my legs hurt all the time! I was thinking maybe I should try a natural supplement, but not sure what to try?

    Not necessarily.

    Mine went from a regular like clockwork 28 days ...

    To ... anytime.

    I would do a 10 day period, take a break off the period for a few days, then go into 3 days of period, take a break off the period for a couple weeks, then go back onto it again for maybe 2 full weeks, then take a break for a week, then go on again for a week, then off again for a week, then on again for a week ..............

    After a year of that, I finally got fed up and went to the doctor.

    Turns out that I had a combination of things going on ... perimenopause + a large polyp in my uterus.

    Had that removed, and things kind of returned to something like normal again ... and about 8 months later all the irregularity started again.

    Went back to the doctor and discovered I had a hemorrhagic cyst. That went away after a couple months and things kind of returned to normal for another 8 months or so. And then the irregularity all started again.

    Yep, another polyp.

    Since that one was removed, I my cycle has finally started extending. I even had a 67 day gap between periods once!! :)

    So ... the irregularly could be perimenopause, or it could be something else. Get it checked.
