Hello,
It sounds like you have oligomenorrhea (infrequent menstruation). Your physician should evaluate you for the underlying cause. Checking your thyroid hormones and a prolactin level is a start. A common cause of oligmenorrhea in women is the polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is notable for oligomenorrhea, physical evidence of hyperandrogenism (e.g., male pattern hair growth) and multiple small follicles within the ovaries (2/3 are required to meet this diagnosis).
You may want to ask your physician to put you on an estrogen and progesterone containing birth control pill. This should regulate your menses and make your period lighter.
Best regards,
Dr. Downing
