Hello
Menstrual irregularities occur most commonly due to hormonal problems. Your thyroid levels are very low,you might want to consult your doctor about adjusting the dose. The possibilities could be PCOS, HYPERPROLACTENEMIA etc. You should get your hormone levels checked. First pregnancy has to be ruled out. Get some blood tests done for LH,FSH,prolactin. Also you will need an ultrasound of the pelvis and adnexa.
Hormonal imbalance is the commonest cause for irregular periods. Other possibilities are pelvic pathology like cysts,PCOS etc.
So get some tests done first and the hormone imbalance can be corrected.
