The menstrual cycle is the shedding of the endometrium of the uterus.

The ovarian cycle occurs about 14 days after the menstrual cycle and is when ovulation occurs (release of an oocyte, or egg)
The menstrual cycle and the ovulation cycle are the same thing, the reproductive cycle is the process of releasing an egg from the ovary and if pregnancy doesn't occur the uterine lining that has built-up to support the potential pregnancy is shed. The different names just relate to different events withi the cycle: ovulation and menstruation.
The menstrual cycle is how often you get a period, where you bleed. The ovarian cycle is where you ovulate. It is associated with the menstrual cycle, because you ovulate on the 14th day, but it is separate from menstruating

Should you tell your mom if you have irregular periods?

Yes, if you have menstrual problems it's a good idea to tell someone. The average menstrual cycle is 28 days but everyone's cycles are different and a few days variation in your cycles is normal too - when we talk of irregular cycles we mean weeks or months difference between cycles. Irregular cycles are normal in your pre-teens or teens as a result of hormonal imbalance, but if severe you should consider seeing a doctor to rule out serious problems.
