Haha it's fine really :) it's very rare you get a girl with a regular period... Usually once you start having kids it becomes more regular
Need a bit more information about what you mean by irregular. Often during the teens periods will be all over the place, long cycles for a bit, then shorter, sometimes heavy bleeds sometimes lighter. It usually settles down in the late teens early twenties.
If you are having periods then you CAN get pregnant.
If your periods are happening once every 2-3 months or less, or if you have other symptoms like unwanted hair, severe acne, obesity then you may have PCOS which can mean reduced fertility later on.
The best thing you can do is make sure you are a healthy weight- neither under nor overweight, eat a healthy diet. See a doctor if your periods are very infrequent or you have the other symptoms I mentioned.
Generally I wouldnt worry about it unless you are getting particular symptoms, or until you are ready to start a family.
