Hello dear,
I understand your concern.

In my opinion there are different causes for irregular periods like:-
1)Thyroid abnormalities.
2)Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD).
3)Overweight or obesity.
4)Stress.
5)Anaemia.
etc.

So all the above causes should be evaluated by getting done physical examination and necessary investigations.

Ultrasound helps to rule out PCOD,thyroid profile helps to rule out thyroid abnormalities and HB to rule out anaemia.

If overweight or obesity weight reduction helps in regularisation of cycles.

Avoid stress if any.

Stress and anxiety cause hormonal imbalance and delay the fertility further.

Nothing to worry.Once the cause is treated the cycles become regular.

Also get the semen analysis done for your partner to rule out any abnormality.

Relax.

Hope this helps.
Best regards.....Dr.Srilatha
