: Irregular periods are very common with a variety of causes. If you are seeking better cycle control consider scheduling a non urgent, routine visit with an Obgyn to discuss options for cycle control

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. Consult this site. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/Pages/causes.aspx
