Do I have a regular cycle?

My cycles vary from 24-27 days. In the past six months they've never been textbook. I've had 27,26,25,24,26 and 24 again now.

Am I deemed irregular as they're not clockwork?

You have to have cycles plus or minus 4 days from the average to be considered irregular - so that means the length can vary by more than 8 days. Less than that is considered regular, so your cycles seem quite regular to me.

Your very lucky and regular. Mine can range between 28-over 40days x

Mine vary from 26 to 36 days, and the more I stress about whether I am 'late' and the more I POAS the longer they get (from stress I presume). Yours are very regular.

Really? TBH I find the not knowing of when I'll start really irritating even with being +/- 1/2 days.

I've just got my positive opk on day 31! Who knows when my next period will be, hopefully in 9months x

awkwardsitch very few people are bang on 28 days. You are very close to that day. Being a day or two one way or another is normal.

My cycles over the past few years have been 31, 43, 39, 34 (quite regular for me) then 55, 64, 74, 67, 46, 57, 55, 37, 19. I have been using an app for about 4 years now though, and track symptoms (particularly CM) and am pretty good at spotting when i'm ovulating, and therefore can now work out within a few days when my period is due, even with irregular cycles. By comparison you look pretty regular, but if you're caught out, I'd recommend getting in tune with your body and it makes a massive difference. It was a revelation for me. I'm hoping it also is going to have a positive effect on TTC, though if we don't succeed this cycle, then I might start temping (have been told OPKs are pointless with PCOS as LH present anyway all cycle so messes up the readings...)
