See your doctor: There are many causes for irregular periods. It is possible that you are going through early menopause but unlikely at your age. If you are bleeding that frequently you need to blood tests to make sure that you are not anemic and to check your thyroid. You also need a pelvic exam to make sure that you do not have fibroids or some other condition that can cause bleeding.

See your doctor: These are most likely anovulatory periods and has overgrowth of endometrial tissue. Need to see your gyn for evaluation and maybe endometrial bx or D and C.
