Your a normal female: Menstrual fluctuations like yours are very common. Stress, weight gain or loss, dietary change, even having a new female friend or roommate can influence your cycle. If it happens occasionally, no worries. More frequently, seek gyn doc, take your menstrual pattern history with you to the appt.
