Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The solution to your problem is to control your weight and thyroid status. This will not only make your cycles regular, but will also help in correcting PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). Your BMI (body mass index) is 35.3, which falls in the category of morbid obesity. I suggest you consult your gynecologist for withdrawal bleeding and then take pills for regularizing periods and simultaneously work on your weight control. I also suggest you get an ovulation study done.
