Thank you for the detailed followup information - I am sorry for the delay getting back to you!
What you have sent me is very useful. I agree, the most recent cycles represent a big change from the past. I think that getting married was not the cause of the change in your cycles. I think that the main thing in your history that is probably contributing to this is the thyroid disease.
Normally women start a cycle (day1) and ovulate mid-cycle (day14) and then get a predictable withdrawl bleed. There are many things that can cause you to ovulate irregulary (leading to increase cycle interval irregularity) or to stop ovulating (leading to missed or abnormal cycles and abnormal breakthrough bleeding).
Your regimen of taking a different dose of thyroid medication for three days each week is not a typical regimen. The vast majority of women are on the same dose every day. They then have thyroid levels checked about every 3 months until they reach a 'steady-state', and then the blood draws are spaced out. The variation in your dosing is almost certainly affecting your cycles in terms of its effect on ovulation within the cycle.
I believe that you should talk with your doctor about being on the SAME dose every day. If they think that this is appropriate, then request a second opinion. Based on what you have told me, this seems like the best explanation and the best course of action moving forward. It will be important in the future with pregnancy as well!
I hope that this helps - please tell me if you have any followup questions.
