Strictly speaking, yes, but we'd probably need to be countless quintillion cycles in or some crazy number like that for the odds to line up I'd imagine. Doesn't seem like a 1:1 repeat would be all tbat likely. If the universe even is cyclical in the first place. Who knows really.

The thing is, if you're only conscious in the universes where it does happen within the infinite universes that happen, then it wouldn't matter how long it takes for it to happen again. Eventually some unfathomable number of years pass and that replica earth exist again.
