Irregular bleeding: This sort of irregular bleeding should be checked by your healthcare provider. Tests including a serum HCG test for pregnancy, and an ultrasound exam of your ovaries and tubes may be necessary. Your provider may consider oral contraceptives for "regulation" of your cycles if the former tests are negative.

Not sure: Reasons for irregularity include weight gain or loss, breastfeeding, alcohol use, eating disorders, marked emotional stress, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, cervical polyps, polycystic ovarian syndrome, excessive exercise & pregnancy. When a girl has just started menstruating & around the time of menopause periods can be irregular.
