Having menstrual cycles regularly is healthy for our bodies. For note, when people say it takes a year or two for your cycles to adjust properly they are talking about the flow of it, duration, and menstrual cramping usually--it shouldn't take months to get a second period, it may be a few days or even a week off in the beginning though.
A "normal" woman's menstrual cycle is usually between 26 and 30 days. Anything that is out of those boundaries is usually considered abnormal and a doctor needs to check things out.
You should really see your doctor now as there could be underlying problems--serious, even. Stress, weight fluctuation, hormone imbalances, malnutrition, or even cysts on the ovaries (possibly polycystic ovary syndrome) could be the reason(s) why your period is so irregular.

person43 answered Friday March 27 2009, 3:13 am: I would not worry too much. Most likely it is because you are still young and your period is not normal yet. Give it some time and your period will begin to be more steady, although some women never really have a predictable period. Another reason could be change in diet.
