Brief Answer:
delayed periods might be due to harmonal imbalance
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, l understand your concern. I got your information.In my opinion delayed periods in your case might be due to
1.stress
2.thyroid abnormality mostly hypothyroidism
3.ovarian causes like polycystic ovarian disease(PCOD)
But to confirm the cause you need to do set of investigations like
1.Thyroid profile to rule out thyroid abnormality
2.harmonal evaluation for PCOD like FSH,LH and others.
You have weight gain which is seen in all the above conditions like stress,hypothyroidism and PCOD.
But we can only confirm the diagnosis after getting the investigations done.
As you dint get periods after meprate you may need another course of harmones.
But dear make yourself stress free by doing yoga and meditation .
Better decrease your weight by exercise or walking daily.
Even 10% loss of weight will make the cycles regular sometimes.
Optimum weight of a person should be the height minus 100.ie.,for example if the height is 160 cm the optimum weight must be 160-100=60 kg.
So you can check the optimum weight by this.
Dont worry irregular periods are seen routinely seen these days so finding out its correct cause and giving apt treatment along with change in lifestyle will make the condition normal.
So relax and become free....
All the very best...
