Should I be worried if my cycle used to be a very regular 28-29 day cycle, but all of the sudden it changed to be a 36 day cycle for the last 3 months? I haven't started or stopped any hormonal birth control. I'm 25 years old. I wanted to start taking BCP this month, but now I'm worried that if I do I won't be able to observe whether my cycle is doing anything worrisome?

Then, out of the blue, it was a week later, which, of course, made me anxious. Then, it was regular again. I, too, am not on any hormonal birth control, so this was really odd for me. I suppose I don't have any definite answers, but you aren't alone. It happens to me from time to time as well. :)
