Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

Irregular periods can be a sign of hypothyroidism.Normally this problem disappear after the right treatement and the normalization of thyroid hormone levels.

Actually you have normal thyroid tests.In this case your doctor can help regulate your menstrual cycle with these tips:Hormonal birth control(hormonal contraception) and Relaxation techniques. Yoga, stress management may be able to help your cycle because extreme stress can cause irregular periods.

My advice is too see an endocrinologist for the follow-up of your thyroid
condition and the treatement of irregular periods.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Wish you good health.
