Are Cycles this long normal?From: Rachel (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 17 Dec 1997 08:53:34 -0600 (CST)
Maybe somebody out there has had a similar problem. I am a nineteen year old woman in very good health. I sarted my period at about 13, and it was always what I'd call long. At least 35 days apart, but for awhile I chalked it up to my hormones regulating everything. Then at 17 I became pregnant. I delivered a healthy, 7lb11oz baby girl, full term at 18. I had a very healthy pregnancy and a totally natural delivery with midwives at a birth center.. I must ssay though, my now husband and I had unprotected sex for a year on a very regular basis before I became pregnant. I'd been nursing and I didn't resume my periods untill Jo was 10 months. But these cycles are really long. I'm not nursing very much, maybe once a day, and I don't think it would matter that much. They aren't irregular cycles. They come pretty regularly at about 48 days. Is it normal to have cycles this long. This was how long they were before the baby too, the last year at least. Something else concerns me. Once my period does come, it seems very strange. It will start slow with a very odd brownish dishcarde. It seems like old, nasty blood or something, and is very thick. Then it might become regular flow, but often time it will just stop for two of three days in the middle and start again. Then it will tapper off to the same, nasty brown flow. Is any of this normal? Please reply -- anybody. Thanks
-- Rachel
