But now looking back, you may see a pattern. Start by looking at things that seem to happen weekly. They look at every two weeks, every three weeks, once a month, and so on. At some point, given enough events recorded in your journal, you may see that your abductions are occurring on a fairly predictable pattern. Some popular abduction books say abduction cycles every so many years.
Some books claim abductions happen once every five years.
Your age and gender has a lot to do with your particular pattern. Younger people may be abducted less often. Females will probably find a more predictable pattern especially if they are being abducted for reproductive purposes. It is possible for females to determine their patterns based on insemination or impregnation date, then to count off the specific number of weeks until the next abduction when the embryo or fetus is then removed by the Aliens. Then the female may be inseminated or impregnated again until the same number of weeks passes to allow the embryo or fetus to reach the size and development desired by the Aliens.
