Hi,
I think that the best option for you will be to start a course of oral contraceptive pills for three cycles. Also, I would suggest you to have a thyroid profile test done and prolactin test done as these hormonal irregularities can lead to menstrual irregularities.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
