Hi I think you should get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of irregular periods. It can be a perimenopausal symptom. You can get a serum FSH level done to find if you are going to attain menopause. You can go for mirena. It is a good option. Hope it helps.
