What is considered an irregular cycle?

AS116 · Mar 15th, 2012, 11:46 AM

Here are my last cycle lengths starting with my most recent:

37
39
39
33
35

I did have more but my phone was stolen back in August

Is this considered irregular? I feel like last year my cycles were closer to the 32 day range. Now, I'm in the high 30s? Is it all relative?

From that list I would say your cycles are fairly regular. To me, irregular would be something like:

30
40
25
55
80!

I'd say it's fairly regular too. I used to have very irregular cycles. I'd go 6 months sometimes without AF, then have a 25 day cycle, then another 3 months... The last 4 cycels have been fairly regular for me though I'm hoping it'll stay this way.

Looks pretty good to me too, and I think I read somewhere that the "average cycle" is anywhere from 19-43 days or something like that. I think it's pretty normal for them not to be the exact same amount of days every month.

I went to the GP to ask the same question about my cycles, which had been 28, 63, 120, 42, 47, 94 and 19. Apparantly those were "perfectly normal," which would makes yours practically textbook!!

Unsurprisingly, I changed GP.

But yes, looking fairly regular to me!

Haha, I dont blame you for changing GP. It doesn't take a doctors degree to see that's pretty darn irregular :P What a dummy.
