Periods don’t always arrive on exactly the same day every month. However, if your menstrual cycle frequently becomes unpredictable, unusually long or short, or your usual pattern suddenly changes, it may be worth discussing with a healthcare professional.
Irregular periods can have many causes, and understanding the reason is an important first step toward appropriate care.
A menstrual cycle is generally considered within the usual range when periods occur approximately every 21–35 days. Significant variation from cycle to cycle can be considered irregular.
You may notice:
Keeping a simple period diary or using a cycle-tracking app can help you identify patterns.

It is a good idea to seek professional advice if your periods have become persistently irregular or your normal pattern has changed.
You should especially consider an evaluation if you have irregular periods along with difficulty conceiving, very heavy bleeding, bleeding between periods, or significant pain.
The appropriate evaluation depends on your symptoms and health history and may include clinical assessment, blood tests or imaging when necessary.
