Related to irregular: ovulation, may be caused by polycystic ovaries/insulin resistance. Also could thyroid or other issues, see your doctor for testing and evaluation.

Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.
