Some women have inconsistent and irregular cycles. This means that the length of her cycle will vary from one month to the next.

Lots of things can cause you to have an irregular cycle on occasion. However, if you seem to always have an irregular cycle, it might indicate a number of different physical problems. For example, you might have a thyroid-related condition, or you might have a problem with hormone balance due to an illness.
