I am approaching another yearly cycle it will be my 5th...
A question to those lucky enough to skip a few years, how long did you go through it before you were given a break so to speak?

It took me around 18 years before I finally SKIPPED a year. At my 25 year mark, I have now had 3 glorious years PF. One thing I would recommend though. DON'T WORRY !!! I see too many people come here and are scared to death that a cycle MAY be starting. Some even go so far as start popping pills just in case.  If it happens, it happens. Just enjoy your PF time.

I didn't skip a year until after 15 annual episodes (with the exception of the year I was pregnant). Now it stretches out to 18 months between, when a cycle flips seasons on me. Thanks to an alternative treatment this year, I will probably be reporting soon that I've skipped an entire cycle.

28 years of the beast ...
After my second cycle, I went 5 years PF ...
8 years ago, I went chronic ...
I don't know what your meaning of a break is anymore ...
My idea of a break, is right now ... Down to 6 or 8 hits a day!!! WOOHOO!!

Depends on what you mean by "skipped".
I went twenty years cycling twice a year, and then went to one a year for ten years. The last three cycles have all been three years apart. So--before I skipped a complete year, I guess, it was thirty years.
YMMV.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs

And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

I started skipping a year between cycles after 9 years.
I used to get them every year for 3 months starting Nov. 9.
I don't know if this made a difference but the year I started skipping I said to myself I will not go into cycle on Nov. 9 damnit and starting in October I would jog a mile and a half every morning and then lift light weights for 15 or 20 minutes. I do not know if this made a difference, but that year I did skip a year and then my pattern changed where I began skipping a year.

Started in my late teens, clockwork 2X a year spring and fall, always about 12 weeks. Hit my mid 40's and it skipped a few years and followed up with an 8 month cycle! Hoping you get a loooong break!

Started at 23 (am 37 now) and have been fairly consistent at every 3 years between cycles since. About 6 weeks each cycle.
