When I was younger (and thinner) my cycles always seemed to be about 26 days even on BCP which is why I finally stopped taking it.

Hi hun,
You might want to get your thyroid hormone levels checked. Hypothyroidism will give you cycles like that and will also make you gain a lot of weight every month. Speaking from experience, it is amazing how much changes when you get it treated.

Good luck!

I actually had my thyroid checked only a couple months ago due to the weight gain.
