I'm 16 years old and got my first period at 12. The first few cycles were very regular, exactly 28 days from one to the next. Since I turned 13, they are irregular, and I only get one every 6-8 weeks. I don't get any major issues with them, apart from some clotting, and my cramps are mild and I only get them for the first day or two. However, I gain weight easily, and I'm always tired. My skin isn't too bad excluding a few breakouts, but have either very dry or very oily hair. Could this be a hormonal imbalance/hypothyroidism?
If my periods are irregular should I consider seeing about getting birth control?
Also, is there anyway I can postpone my period so I won't get it while travelling from Scotland to Canada next month?
Thank you in advance
