Hi,

If you are married and trying for a baby. You should get USG pelvis scanning to exclude possible threatened abortion. This scan would show any ovarian problem causing the problem. Also, thyroid function needs to be tested for (thyroid problem can cause such irregular bleed too). Finding the cause would facilitate regulating your periods. You should consult an endocrinologist. In case the problem repeats.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
