Soemtimes going on birth control can regulate your periods if there's just a hormonal imbalance. It works well for a lot of women who just sometimes have irregular periods. However, if there is an important underlying problem, the pill will not fix that problem, only cover it up. It sounds like it would be best for you to see a doctor as soon as possible. There is something going on with your body that needs to be evaluated before you try using the pill - it may be harmless, but it might be something more serious. I'm sure there are doctors in your town, and there's probably no problem with your insurance if you have a policy. Can you talk to one of your parents about the insurance policy's rules about what doctors you can go to? Or about how much you can afford to pay if you don't have insurance? If it is absolutely impossible to see a doctor in your college's town, find out when you're going home for a holiday (like fall break or thanksgiving) and make an appointment for your doctor for that time. Or talk to somebody at your college's student health clinic. They may be able to help you or refer you to somebody.
