    Some woman have irregular periods with no apparent reason. It just happens that way. Women's periods can last anywhere from 5 to 7 days. Sometimes longer!! If it continues to be irregular when it's always been regular up to this point, you may want to speak with your gynecologist for an exam and maybe lab work would need to be done to see if there is a fluctuation with your hormones. Hormonal balances are common.
