Irregular or very scanty periods for two years, with weight changes and facial hair, warrant a gynaecology review. A hormonal condition such as PCOS is one possibility, but symptoms alone do not confirm it and normal thyroid and blood-count results do not complete the assessment.
Next Steps
Take her previous reports, treatment details and a menstrual diary to the appointment. Discuss long gaps between periods and future pregnancy plans. Many causes can be managed, but fertility cannot be predicted from this description. Do not restart hormonal tablets without review.
Health Tips
If pregnancy is possible, a missed period needs pregnancy assessment. Severe pelvic pain, faintness or heavy bleeding needs urgent care.

As per your complain,
This can be a case of PMOS.
As facial hair (Hirsutism)is there,also irregular,scanty bleeding is there.
Menstrual history is needed.
USG report also needed
Blood report (Thyroid profile,S. FSH,LH,AMH)
Please consult with the report.
Only Ocps will not help,a detail history, evaluation is must needed.

She can be having pcod / pmos , it can sometimes cause fertility issues also. But in most of the cases it's manageable and pregnancy is achieved.
But do consult a gynaecologist and get a ultrasound scan done for proper diagnosis

Irregular periods for two years along with weight gain and hair growth since childhood point toward PCOS. This is a hormonal condition, not something cured once and finished. The pill worked before because it regulates the cycle while you take it, not because it removed the cause. That's why the irregular pattern returned once you stopped it.
Next Steps
A pelvic ultrasound and hormone blood tests will confirm this and guide treatment. PCOS can also affect fertility later, so treating it properly before marriage is worth doing now.
Health Tips
Please see a gynaecologist for a proper PCOS workup and treatment plan, rather than waiting for the cycle to settle on its own.
