Hi,
Irregular periods can be caused by several factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, weight changes, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and other underlying medical conditions. Since you have been checked by a healthcare provider and were previously on birth control, it's important to follow up with your provider to discuss the underlying cause of your irregular periods and to discuss the appropriate treatment options.
If you are trying to conceive in the future, it may be helpful to track your menstrual cycle using a calendar or a period-tracking app. This can help you identify any patterns or changes in your cycle and can also help your healthcare provider in determining the underlying cause of your irregular periods.
In addition to tracking your menstrual cycle, making healthy lifestyle changes can also help regulate your periods. This includes maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, exercising regularly, and eating a balanced diet. It's important to note that taking weight loss pills can have negative effects on your menstrual cycle and overall reproductive health. It's best to discuss any supplements or medications with your healthcare provider before starting them.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
