Hi Mohini~
There's no absolute yes or no answer to your question, unfortunately.
Every woman is a little different when it comes to her menstrual cycle
and how long and consistent it is. The average menstrual cycle ranges
from 21 to 35 days, and it's considered normal for some women to get
their period at a different time each month (see
http://www.askdoctormarla.com/Topics/Puberty/TheMenstrualCycle.htm )
Still, according to The Medical Reporter: "If your cycles are not
coming at regular intervals, chances are that you are not ovulating
regularly." ( http://medicalreporter.health.org/tmr1099/menstrualcycle.html
)
Irregular menstrual cycles can be caused by lack of ovulation, but
they can also be caused by illness, stress, changes in eating and
exercise habits, prescriptions, travel, and being pre-menopausal.
(Menopause generally starts between the ages of 45 and 55.)
If you're concerned that you might not be ovulating, the best thing
you can do is visit your obgyn. You can also do a few things on your
own:
* Track your basal body temperature. You'll need a basal thermometer,
available at most drug stores. Follow the directions that come with it
to the letter, making sure to take your temperature every morning,
before you get out of bed. For more information on using your basal
body temperature to determine ovulation, visit:

* Test cervical mucus. With toilet paper, wipe the vulva. What
secretions you see there can tell you where you are in your cycle. For
complete information on this, visit:

I hope this helps!
