Based on the information provided, irregular or delayed periods at 17 years of age can sometimes occur due to hormonal imbalance, stress, weight changes, nutritional deficiencies, or conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). However, having no periods for more than 3 months (secondary amenorrhea) followed by repeated delays should not be ignored and needs proper medical evaluation.
Migraine for more than 5 months is also significant and may be related to stress, hormonal fluctuations, anemia, poor sleep, eye strain, or other medical causes. Persistent headaches should always be assessed by a doctor, especially when they affect daily life.
This situation is not your fault, and it is important that your concerns are taken seriously. At your age, timely medical care can prevent future health issues and help regulate your menstrual cycle safely.
Next Steps
Consult a gynecologist in person as soon as possible for menstrual irregularity.
Basic tests may be advised such as:
Blood tests (Hb, thyroid profile, hormones)
Ultrasound abdomen/pelvis (if required)
Consult a physician/neurologist for migraine evaluation.
Maintain a record of:
Last menstrual dates
Headache frequency, triggers, and severity
Try to involve a trusted adult (parent, elder sibling, teacher, or guardian) and clearly explain that symptoms are persistent and affecting health.

Irregular periods (gap of months, then delay again) are common with hormonal imbalance, stress, PCOS, thyroid problems, weight change, or chronic illness. You need a gynecologist visit—this is not normal to ignore.
Migraine for 5+ months needs neurologist/physician evaluation. Long-term migraine can worsen if untreated and can also disturb periods
