I've always had an irregular cycle, which can be anywhere from about 24 to just over 40 days. My current gyno tells me that partly it's because I'm very thin and get a lot of exercise, both of which can cause a woman to occasionally skip a period, resulting in one of those 40+ cycles. He also told me it's nothing to worry about unless I'm trying to get pregnant or worried about getting pregnant, neither of which is a concern. I'm not going to take hormonal birth control just to have a regular cycle. For me, the potential side effects greatly outweigh the sole benefit of knowing when I'll have my period.
