If you are sexually active of course it is possible that you are pregnant. You should see an OBGYN and talk about your irregular periods and possibly about starting some kind of contraception. Do a pregnancy test just to be sure .

A simpe answer would be this: you either have dusmenorrhea or pregnancy. Take a test. If negative, see a specialist to discuss the options in normalizing your menstrual cycle. Those options may include: "no treatment is necessary", or aerobics, weight-watch and diet, antibacterial therapy, and the least - a prescription of OCs.
