Go on the pill

In my early 20's I had very irregular periods for YEARS. They found absolutely nothing wrong with me and I did not want to take the pill bc of side effects. I did some research and learned that calcium helped regulate periods because many women were depleted. I was not getting enough calcium and started eating more calcium enriched foods evey day, (yogurt, cheese, milk) and sometimes taking calcium supplements especially the week my period is due. One month later I was regular again. it really helped me..give it a try:) and an added bonus for me : NO more cramps with my periods.

That's a question for your doctor. If you're not trying to get pregnant, then taking birth control pills is easy and convenient.
If you are trying to get pregnant, then it depends on WHY your periods are irregular. Mine were way out there and it was unexplained, except for the fact that I was overweight. I lost 25 pounds on Weight Watchers and Curves, and suddenly my periods became regular, about 29-31 day cycles.
But the best thing is to see your doctor.

It depends on why you aren't regular. Obviously you aren't ovulating on a regular basis, but then comes the issue of WHY.
Yes, you can take the pill if you aren't TTC.
Metformin is given to PCOS patients who have the insulin factor with it. I didn't have the insulin issue so I wasn't given it.
If you have PCOS and weight is contributing to it (not every PCOS patient has weight issues), try and get the extra poundage off. Sometimes that really does make a HUGE difference in your cycles.
If you have the insulin part of it, yes, you can be put on Metformin and that, I've heard, helps regulate things and take weight off if needed.
You really just need to figure out what is causing it and then go from there.

Tell your uterus it is time you had a serious talk. Sit her (or him, however it works for you) down and explain that your period needs to come on a more reliable schedule so that you may plan your club outtings and white pants days accordingly. Be sure to make your uterus aware that further violations will result in a hysterectomy.
