For the last several months, my period has been completely irregular, and it's gotten me a bit worried. At first I didn't think it was really enough to concern myself with, since I figured it was probably nothing serious, but...
Last month, I didn't have one at all, and this month, I had one oddly early and I only bled for 2 days then just completely stopped; which is EXTREMELY strange since I go a minimum of 5 days on average. Usually I go for a week though.
Any ideas on what could be wrong...? Could it possibly be serious enough to visit a doctor for?

There are many causes for irregular periods, and while most aren't cause for alarm you should definitely see your gynecologist soon. Are you going for regular annual checkups? If not, now is a good time to start.
For us to sit here and try to guess what is the cause would be futile and perhaps even dangerous. Just please go see a gynecologist! Your health is too important to mess with.

Once in awhile the ovary "forgets" to release and egg so that was probably the problem there and I usually go for a minimum of four days but i had some that lasted only two. . . . finally I went on birth control and my periods are regular. . . with NO cramping. . . . only downsides of the pill for me and a lot of my friends is the nausea and mood swings.

I doubt it. My periods are irregular, too, and I'm still alive and feeling pretty good. I LOVE it when it's light like yours... I wish the whole 2 days only thing happened more often. As far as the skipped month, just be happy that you didn't have to deal with your period for 30 days. I rarely skip months, but if I do, then woohoo for me!

My period is completely irregular since I was in my 20, I am now 40. My doctor put me in pill to keep it regular. She said hormone imbalance was the cause of it.

Yes, you should see a doctor -- if only to put a stop to your worrying! It's probably nothing -- but wouldn't it be nice to know that for sure?
Good luck.

Yes, please see your doctor. It could something as simple as stress of changes in diet. However, with "womanly issues" you can never be too safe.
