Irregular periods: Having such irregular periods indicates you likely have some hormonal problems. Thyroid disorder, polycystic ovary syndrome, and other hormonal issues are possible. It would be wise to see a gynecologist, have some tests, and possibly use medication (perhaps birth control pills) to regulate your periods.
