Brief Answer:
Hormonal disturbances should be ruled out

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Irregular and delayed periods are most likely due to hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease.
I will suggest you to get your hormonal profile done to confirm the cause so that appropriate diagnosis can be made and treatment can be given accordingly.
Irregular or no ovulation is common in these hormonal disturbances, therefore correction of the underlying problem is must.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
