[quote=Anonymous] This might be surprising to some people, but in medicine, having irregular periods means having cycles that sometimes last less than 21 days or sometimes last more than 35 days. Therefore in perimenopause, when cycles gradually start to shorten by a few days, it's not considered irregular. It's a normal progression. After that phase, there usually comes large swings when a period could be missed, followed out of the blue by a huge amount of period bleeding. Cycles can shorten then lengthen. This is when you need to consult your Gyn, since it could be caused more nefarious things than perimenopause (fibroids, for example). I would call your Gyn, just in case, OP, knowing that it's probably just perimenopause advancing inexorably. [/quote]
