Depends.: If you have had unprotected sex and are fertile, then check a home pregnancy test. Positive or negative, get checked and find out why you are missing periods. If not pregnant, and prenatal care if you are. If you're not pregnant, it could be a hormonal imbalance, or something else. The only way to know what is going on is to see a doc for an examination and appropriate testing.

Well, if your: Sure it's not a pregnancy issue the most common cause is irregular ovulation. I would go in and see doc and get on the pill before you become anemic. Look up poly cystic ovarian syndrome and see if that fits. It's very common and the most likely issue.
