I wouldn't worry that your periods are irregular. While we always treat a 28-day cycle as "normal," the reality is this: many women have shorter cycles and many women have longer cycles, and some women have very irregular cycles due to the time of year, the medicines they are taking, the amount of stress they are under or other changes in their lives.
You're just on about a 33- or 34- day cycle right now, which is nothing to worry about. If you were used to having shorter cycles, I would expect that to return sometime in the next few months. We're actually getting quite a few questions about this sort of thing right now, probably due to the stress of school ending and the change in everyone's weather and level of activity.

Does that help a little?
