If I take Iron Supplements?....?

If i take Iron supplements, im wondering if they will help me have regular periods. I started my 1st period when i was 14 or 15. Since then I've had about 5/6 periods, and im now 21. So its been like 1 period a year. Its really frustrating, although when i've had periods they are heavy and painful but i'd do anything to have a regular cycle!! ... Could they maybe help??

Update:

Not reduce....I want more periods!..regular

    Iron supplements will not help reduce your period. Are you on birth control? Many birth control pills will reduce your period and cramps.
