I agree with what Allison said above. Irregular periods are very very common. I had irregular periods for most of my life. When I was in my teen years, I would even go 8 months without a period and that was a scary time in my life because I also was sexually active.
I went on birth control when I was about 17 years old, mainly for the purpose of having regular periods. It certainly worked for several years but I got off of them when I was approximately 22 years old. After I was off the pill, I did have an 8 month spout of not having a period again, then all of a sudden, I have periods monthly now. It was very common for me not to have regular periods. Somehow they just catch up to you.
Stress is definitely a factor in missing periods because all my life I was been stressed in one way or another. But getting on birth control will relieve your fears. I hope this helps.
