How much variation in monthly cycle is normal?

3 replies

As per title really.
My monthly cycle can be anything from 27 days long to 31 days long, and my periods anything from 3 to 7 days long.
I’m just wondering if this variance is normal?
Thankyou in advance

How old are you, are you on contraception?

Is it a change?

Mine have always fluctuated between 28-32 day cycles and whenever I've been to the dr over the years when it's been something where they might ask about whether periods are regular, I always say between 28-32 days and they're always happy with that.

But it might be different if you always had 28 day cycles and now they're a bit more varied maybe?

Thanks, I’m 35 and have the copper coil fitted since Jan.
I was on the pill for years and like clockwork, off the pill no contraception for about a year before the coil was fitted. I haven’t looked at that time period but I seem to recall being much more regular than I am now.
I also get exhausted 7-9 days after my period ends, have 2 days where even getting out of bed feels hard, then I’m fine again. My actual periods are absolutely fine.
