Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
It appears from your description that you are having irregular and prolonged cessation of periods like 'secondary amenorrhea'.
The possible cause for this needs to be evaluated and treated as it could be hormonal imbalance and polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD).
You would require to be tested for hormone levels in blood and ultrasound scan of abdomen and pelvic region.
It is advisable not to take medications on your own without proper evaluation.
Kindly consult Gynecologist for proper evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
