Hello,
If you are not on any birth control method there are chances that you could be pregnant. Take up urine pregnancy test. It is quite reliable  in detecting pregnancy if done correctly. Other causes of irregular periods are hormonal imbalances, thyroid disorders, ovulation disorders etc.If urine pregnancy test is negative consult a gynecologist. An ultrasound and hormonal profile may provide information. I hope it helps. Write us again.
Take care and regards!
