Yes: It is common for periods to be irregular when they first start as the pituitary-ovarian axis is just maturing.It is like learning to walk.U fall down a lot until ur brain & legs get coordinated.However if this continues it is likely that there is a problem.To know 4 sure requires a full history,exam and appropriate testing 2 rule out thing like thyroid disease,PCOS,diabetes/insulin resistance,etc.
