Rapid cycling is definied as having 4 or more episodes a year.
I wouldn't worry about your pattern changing. The faster the cycling the rarer it is for BP I think - but on the boards there seems to be a lot more of the really rapid cyclers (probably cause I can imagine it being a lot less predictable!) and there's also a lot of BP comorbid with BPD, which might result in a lot more frequent episode swings.
