I tried to figure your age but I think you are younger than the
perimenopause age,
Anyway, we call your condition, infrequent menstruation, when you have
your periods less frequent and the time between the periods is longer
than 5 weeks. The case comes and goes, and may be affected by stress
and change of weight.
Blood test and ovarian ultrasound will prove that your ovaries ovulate
less frequent than normal.
