I have since the last few months noticed that my cycle length has changed. Earlier it was 28 days now it is somewhere between 36 to 40 days. What could be the reason.

Could be due to many reasons . Any recent weight gain, stress , abnormal thyroid . Or even perimenopause . To know the exact reason , u need to consult gynecologist .
