Hi

There are other factors that could be causing such a presentation like weight gain, weight loss, stress, various medications, medical conditions like polycystic ovaries, etc.

I would thus recommend a visit to your doctor along with a check on hormone levels, and an ultrasound of your lower abdomen and pelvis at the least.

Best wishes
