I haven't had a normal period for almost nine years now. There is time I wouldn't have period for the entire year, and on some occasional times it would once a week or for seven days. This year I am starting to see something different, I have had my period every month except Aug, Sept, and Oct. I don't know what else to do? The other thing is me and my boyfriends have been sexually active. We used protection at all time when we are having sex, but for the past month of Aug and Sept we didn't use any. Can I be pregnant??

It's possible, but it would be difficult for you to tell by the lack of a period since your cycles are irregular.

Best thing would be to see your doctor and ask for some testing to be done to determine whether you are ovulating. It may be that you ovulate just a few times a year for example.

Testing will let you know where things stand and what options you may have to sort any concerns out.

It is not uncommon for doctors to prescribe medication to try and stimulate your cycle causing you to have more regular periods. Then, in turn, if lack of ovulation is a problem, other meds may discussed to work towards that concern.

Treatment, if any, will depend on what test results show.
