I also have very irregular menstrual periods and have been told by doctors that as long as you have at least 3 periods a year, your body is generally ok. You don't need to have a period every month. It's definitely worth visiting the doctor to get more information and find out what's going on, though. Aside from the things _genuinegirly_ mentioned, you might also ask your doctor to test you for PCOS (poly-cystic ovarian syndrome). PCOS can cause very irregular or almost non-existent periods. The doctor will usually order a blood test to check for symptoms.
