A member asked:

Is it normal to have a 4-5 day gap between menstrual cycles? 26 days for a few months, 30 - 31 days for a couple, and drop to 29 the following month?

That's fine: As long as it's about 1 month give or take a few days, 11-12 periods per year, then it is normal.

Dr Barton and another doctor agreed
