Day light savings?: Maybe your menstrual cycle is on daylight savings time and changes based on the suns rotation? This can be a normal occurrence and is not always a cause for concern. Sometimes birth control is used to regulate your menstrual cycle. If it becomes an issue have it checked out by your family physician.
