Brief Answer:
Need evaluation for irregular periods

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
You have not mentioned your weight, no issues.
If you have irregular periods from few months then it is need to be ruled out by doing investigations like ultrasound scan to rule out polycystic ovaries and thyroid test.
If you will not have any abnormalities then irregular periods are may be due to hormonal imbalance, which may be due to physical and mental stress.
If you’re all tests normal then you can try to conceive naturally.

Since I live in XXXXXXX I do not have idea about doctors in XXXXXXX but I have found experience gynecologists in your area.

If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank
