Irregular periods: You will need to see your doctor to determine what is the underlying cause for the irregular periods. An physical examination and tests are in order to determine a cause. Have your partner use condoms if you are sexually active. Once you have been examined and appear healthy maybe a trial of birth control pill can help you have a more regular and predictable period if no contraindication.
