Would this be classed as irregular periods?

For context, I've having issues with my periods for nearly 4 years. Awaiting a referral to gynaecology, GP suspects endo.

This might sound dumb as I always assumed irregular periods were when you didn't have them for months on end, and everyone is different from the so-called average 28-day cycles but I'm trying to work out if my periods would be classed as irregular.

It's pretty much been like this since my youngest was born (she's 3.5).

I don't know, as it looks like you are having a period every month?

I had irregular periods when I went years of only having 4 periods a year, then they stopped completely.

You probably need more data (cycles) to be taken seriously as a couple irregular periods per year is normal.

I looked up the definition. One definition is if your periods are over 35 days. Another is if there is a 20 day variation between periods.
