    Are you on any kind of birth control? I think you should go to a doctor and get checked out just to be safe. Do you usually have infrequent and irregular periods? Go to an OB-GYN and tell them about your symptoms. He/she will be able to do the appropriate testing/treatment if anything is wrong. If money is an issue, see if there are any local clinics for the uninsured in your area. Check out these websites too:

    Remember, you can't diagnose yourself with what you read on the internet. I'm including these websites to help point you in the right direction, but you also need to go to the doctor. Every woman should go to the OB-GYN at least once a year for a pap smear/pelvic exam. Get to the doctor so you can have peace of mind! Good luck! :)

    I once didn't have one for six months , I went to a doctor and asked because I KNEW I wasn't pregnant so the doctor told me I was just irregular and you probably are to but that you should see about getting on some birth control , that's what I did , and it takes you a couple of months to straghten yourself out but it helps so go see a female perhaps , and even if it's a man , don't feel bad because they are a lot gentler than the female doctors
