Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, your wife can use OCPs for longterm for irregular periods but she needs to get her workup done as well.
Blood investigations like hormonal assay and pelvic ultrasound are a must for her to rule out the cause of irregular cycles.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
