Change in cycle: Over the course of the 30-40 years that most women have their cycle, an irregular odd cycle can occur here & there. However, it's always a good idea to consider doing a pregnancy test if you could be pregnant. If irregular cycles continue & you are not pregnant, you should see a doctor for evaluation.
