Yeah those are irregular period, but don't worry about it to much alot of women think that every women periods are regular (every 28 days), but there are millions of women who are irregular long as your period comes like I think every 21 to 35 days you are alright, but if your skipping periods or getting period every three months or so, you should seek a doctor to see whats wrong. Also when your younger irregular periods are common and can change. Irregular periods can be cause by stress, hormonal inbalance, and other things. If your worried go to a doctor and they can put you birth control to regulate your periods.

A regular period does not necessarily mean 28 days. "Regular" is different for everyone, but what it really refers to is consistency. If your cycle is usually 32-33 days, then that's what's normal for you. If one month it's 28 days, the second month it's 34 days, and the next is 31 days, then you have an irregular period. In other words, it's unpredictable.
I calculated the duration of the two cycles you mentioned and the first was 34 days and the second was 32 days. If the duration of your cycles are consistently between these numbers, then you can pretty much predict within a day or two of when you'll get your period next. However, if you're always off by 4 to 7 days or you miss your period altogether, then you can be pretty confidant that you're irregular. Either way, there's nothing wrong with you. It's just inconvenient to be irregular since you can't plan accordingly. If it bothers you, you can take birth control pills to regulate your period (if you're old enough to decide that).

The best way to track yourself is to get a calendar and mark it I use a "P" on the 1st day of your period and then count the number of days until the 1st day of your next period. If the 1st days of your period are 26 to 30 days, you have a regular period. They seldomly fall on the same date of each month. By the way if you have a regular period and you want a good birth control method look on the Internet for "cycle beads". It has worked for me for 4 years now. It's also a good way to figure when is the best time to conceive, and its free! It does not protect from getting anything though!!

No that is definately not considered irregular if you are just a few days off. I get my period exactly every other month, that is irregular.

irregular periods are when you miss 1 or more months at a time ...you sound about normal.....sex, hormones and stress or exercising all will contribute to your cycle.....you could see your doctor and get put on some sort of hormonal contraceptive but then you run the risk of weight gain, acne, blood clots and or stroke...just try to relax and not stress over it....only if you completely stop or are in pain should you worry

No, this is not considered irregular. Irregular is more when you miss two months and then have one or when you have one every week or so. You're doing fine.
