Many reasons: Menstrual cycles are influenced by many different factors; some external (e.g. stress, diet, medication, etc...) and some internal (endocrine changes involving the Thyroid gland, stress, body fat ratio, etc...). Many if these influences are transient and limited in nature. As such, in the absence of other symptoms, I would maintain a menstrual diary for about six months and go from there.
