Irregular periods: Normal length of menstrual cycle can be from 21 to 35 days.  This number is usually steady.  Many factors can change the cycle: hormonal changes, stress, pregnancy, birth control pills, low body fat, severe weight loss or overweight, extreme exercise and others.  If the change is new, a consult with a gyn is needed.
