In short, it means that you are experiencing irregular menstrual cycles. Menstrual irregularities can occur for a number of different reasons. Irregular periods are generally caused by hormonal imbalances. These imbalances can occur because of hormonal birth control use, pregnancy, perimenopause, illness or infection, use of certain medications, and other more serious conditions.  Women who are dieting or exercising excessively may skip periods. In addition, increased stress levels and changes in routine may affect the regularity of menstrual cycles. It would be best to be evaluated by a medical professional if your irregularity continues.
