Irregular menstrual cycle

Hi there - I'm 17 and have had an irregular menstrual cycle for the past four years. My periods individually vary from normal (7 days) to between 25 and 30 days. I usually get a period every month, but sometimes skip months at a time, and in spring of last year (March-June) I didn't have a period at all. When I do get my period, it is often (not always) quite heavy, and is sometimes passed in clumps. I experience little or no pain during these periods (In the summer I had an extremely heavy one that gave me a serious cramp), and I have never experienced PMS or serious bloating. I have never had a pap smear, and I have never been an any birth control. I would like to know if there is anything that could help regulate my periods, or if these symptoms indicate something more serious... (One thing I must mention...within the past four years I have travelled quite a bit - Japan and Australia - does jetlag have anything to do with irregularity?) Thanks and sorry for the length
