What Causes Irregular Periods And Weight Gain?

Hi there,

When I was sixteen, I began my period, but ever since, they have been quite infrequent. In the last two years, I have had maybe 3 periods at the most. My mum took me to a doctor, who asked me to get an ultrasound. The night before the ultrasound, I got a period, but haven't had one since. Sometimes I get cramps like I have a period, but I don't. I easily gain weight, and sometimes a tiny amount of blood (like a drip) will be present, but that is it. Is this cause for concern??
