Hi I think you can take progesterone like duphaston 10 mg twice a day for one week for inducing periods. Do a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy first if you are trying to get pregnant. Get yourself evaluated if you have tried for a pregnancy for one year. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin level and a ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of irregular periods. Hope it helps.
