I think you have polycystic ovarian syndrome. IT worsens with increasing weight, so I would try to lose 10% of your body weight and you may see your periods become regular. If that does not work, then you also need an evaluation because you may have an elevated fasting insulin level, in which case you will need metformin. If your periods continue to be irregular, a tablet such as clomid started on day 3 of your period can help you be able to ovulate in a timely fashion.
