Abstract
Purpose of review:
The aim of this review is to evaluate biological, life history, environmental, and lifestyle factors and exposures that cause variability in menstrual cycle length (MCL).
Recent findings:
Recent literature has detailed a number of factors that influence MCL, with particular emphasis placed on novel environmental exposures, such as air pollution and endocrine disrupting chemicals.
Summary:
MCL varies widely in response to intrinsic and extrinsic inputs and is a useful predictor of reproductive health and fecundability.
