Likely to be normal: More often, the variation is interval is related to stress (job, partner, exercise) and you may be ovulating earlier or later than you expect. If you check basal temperatures or an lh kit, shifts in temperature or surge may be earlier or later. Not uncommon. If this persists, then other issues most notably thyroid and lactation (prolactin) should be evaluated. Hang in there, not unusual!
