It could mean a few things. As always you should consult your OB on this issue. However, I know of a few things that can alter your cycle.
1. Changes in sexual activity can affect your cycle.
2. If you recently started Birth Control pills, or you recently switched them, this could also be the cause. Your body is adjusting to the hormones.
3. Your hormones will be changing throughout your life, and especially will fluctuate with certain big events and stresses...like a wedding, honeymoon, moving, children, buying a house, getting a degree, losing someone close to you, money problmes....etc....
While your doctor and some uninformed people may tell you your cycle should be 28 days, every woman is different. Some have "normal" 23 day cycles, some have "normal" 35-day cycles. The real cause for concern should not be longer or shorter cycles, but whether you have other signs of problems. Are you ovulating? Do you get good cervical mucus mid-way through your cycle? Do you have severe cramps? Do you have super long periods or mid-cycle spotting? If you have other signs something is wrong, or are trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant, see your doctor. Otherwise, wait a few cycles and see if it evens out. Body imbalances (poor health, being overweight, smoking or drinking) can wreak havoc on your cycle as well.
