Hi Jasminbritney!
Hopefully some of the more knowledgeable members can give you info on the herbs and PM...I did want to say, though, that I don't have regular periods either - usually I go 2-4months in between bleeding periods - but from what I've researched, even though you aren't bleeding your body is still cycling, so to speak. So I don't think it would be a good idea to take PM straight through. IUD's irritate the lining of the uterus, which leads to thin/no periods, but that doesn't mean that you stop having a luteal/follicular cycle. I think it's important for you to track your body temp and chart your cycle regardless, so that you know when to take PM and when not to (because you, like me, can't chart your cycle based on consistent monthly periods).
Here are two links that give overviews on the luteal and follicular cycles:

http://www.examiner.com/article/basal-body-temperature-follicular-phase-explained
I use a digital thermometer and an app I found to chart my BBT (basal body temperature) because it's more convenient for me to simply enter the temperature and have the app track it for me. :]
Best of luck! <3 <3 <3
