Brief Answer:
Evaluation Required

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about missed periods.

Please get serum beta hCG blood test done to confirm if you are pregnant.

If Serum beta hCG blood test shows you are not pregnant, this irregular periods need to be evaluated.

Please get blood tests FSH, AMH dine which will help in identifying ovarian reserve. Please let me know result of blood test so that I can advise further.

Regards
