Hello what you need to do is a fasting serum insulin and even if it comes out normal start using metformin 500mg twice per day. This will not only reduce your weight but also help you in conceiving. You also need to switch to a diet that comprises more of fruits and vegetables and please take out some time to exercise. Having done all this you will start reducing weight and your periods will be fine.
