late periods need advice pls

I am 17  and have only had my period about 7 times in the past year and a half and none before that. I am very irregular. is there something wrong with me. I am not heavy when i do get mine. i was late 16 when i got my first one and feel more self conscious about it b.c its still pretty new. also i dont use tampons but want to start but don't know how. i have read the instructions in the box but it kinda hurts when its in. what is wrong with me i feel immature that i don't wear tampons and don't get my period.

I can take 2+ years for your period to regulate, the pill can regulate it...taking iron could too and evening primrose can also regualte it...
maybe try using a bit of lubrication when inserting a tampon, you're not supposed to feel it once it's in...you could try using a mirror and work out when it's supposed to go...

if your tampon hurts you have inserted it wrong as you should not feel  it at all. periods can be irregular when they first start it is pretty normal. mine were all over the place for ages and then started every month. dont feel self conscious it is a natural thing. dont think there is anything wrong with you and you are not immature for not wearing tampons. when you feel comfortable in them then wear one but dont do it unless you are comfortable.
