If you never know how long your cycle is going to be as it varies so much from one period to another, or if you miss some month’s altogether, then you clearly have irregular periods.

drugs, such as antibiotic

failure to ovulate regularly, approaching menopause

trauma, stress, tiredness

overweight or underweight

lifestyle changes, travel
