I can relate to your situation. As Susan noted, there may be many reasons that you don't have a normal period and may be growing more slowly than others. I also had many issues with my periods for a very long time. I am 31 years old now, but I did not have normal (monthly) periods until I was approximately 28 years old.
I would have periods periodically, maybe twice a year and I went to my physician. They gave me a pill to start my period although, that still didn't make my period come on a monthly basis. Going back to the physician another time, they placed me on birth control to maintain a normal period on a monthly basis and that worked for many years. I stopped taking birth control myself a few years ago.
Seeing your physician would be very beneficial to you. There are many things they can try to help you to control your period. Don't worry. There was nothing WRONG with me. Actually what my physician told me is that it is very common to have irregular periods, but there are alternatives that they can give you to maintain them.
I hope this helps you and eases your mind. Please let us know what the outcome is.
