Title: Start of cycles in May
Post by IndianaJohn on Aug 4^th, 2004, 11:58am

I was just wondering...It seems that many of us episodics had their cycles start in May. Mine did, and I have read in other threads that other clusterbuds have had their cycles start in May as well. WTF?

How many of us have started in May?

And more importantly, could there possibly be a connection?

My cycles are usually the March/September kind. I had one last September but didn't get the March one. Then mdi May came and wham! I have read that some started in early May and some in late May. Just wondering what the hell is going on??...

Wish I knew. My cycles are pretty reliably in July and August. But some years are much better, and some are much worse.

Last 4 years, I my typical 6week cycle started in August and ended in December...

However, this year ... my cycle started in Late-May ... I am still in cycle and its close to 10weeks. (and I dont see the end in sight)

Yep John, that's pretty typical of an episodic. Mine are March/May & Sept/Jan. Luckily I skip the March/May cycles alot. Never skip the Sept/Jan. though.

Keeping fingers crossed. Sept. is comming.

John - My last 4 years which I have finally started keeping records I have had April/May and Sept/Oct cycles

I had my April/May this year, went about a month and then wham I started another cycle in early July. This has me very discouraged.

I always thought my cycles had to do with change of season and daylight patterns.....Now that I'm sitting here in the dead of Summer suffering though, I have given up on theories...It all just sucks...

Same here Eric, March into April and Sept into October were my beastly months, Figured I had it beat for this season then end of May got hit hard and I'm now in my tenth week. I thinks its because we had such a late season change here in the Northeast.

PFNAD to all,

IndianaJohn, mine started in May and would last about a month. Until I moved (from Calgary, Canada, to Santa Monica, and now West L.A.)... I was worried the first year down here as May approached... but nothing happened. And then another May passed, and I thought I was free... until now.

As many keep echoing and tend to agree: the beast does as it pleases. It's steeped in patterns, but likes to mix things up once in a while. :-/
