Hi!
First of all you need some help to discover why you don't have periods.  If you were my patient, I would order some tests including an FSH ( ideally on cycle day 3) a prolactin and thyroid studies.  If all of these are normal, it suggests that you have PCOS.

With PCOS, Metformin and Clomid(or Femara) are very good medications to start with.
These medications can help you ovulate more regularly which helps you conceive more quickly, or at least regulates your cycle.

You would really benefit from seeing a fertility specialist--even if you are on a tight budget.  Otherwise it could be years before you have a baby!

Good luck!
