HI, thanks for using healthcare magic, I am sorrry that you are in so much distress

When the cycle is greater than 35 days it is called oligomenorrhea.
This can be related to a number of different factors including physical or emotional stress, inadequate diet, abnormal levels of thyroid hormone, high levels of a hormone called prolactin, polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that is associated with irregular periods, abnormal hair growth (on chin, chest or abdomen), insulin resistance, polycystic ovaries and problems with fertility.

You may want to consider to performing a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. IF this is negative then you may want to have your doctor rule out any hormonal abnormalities.
In patients where the thyroid and prolactin levels are normal and it is thought to be related to PCOS , then the oral contraceptive pill ( once there are no reasons that you cannot be on the pill) can be used to regularise the period. In addition , weight loss , if there is any excess weight improves the symptoms in this condition.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

Hi,

There is medication that can be used to induce periods but it unfortunately cannot be obtained without a prescription.The name is provera.
Before providing the prescription, your doctor may perform a pregnancy test to ensure that this is not the cause of the present delay.

As mentioned , if you are not pregnant and given the provera, then oral contraceptives can be used to regularize future periods.
