Irregular periods

My periods started at age 14 and became irregular around age 15. At age 16, I was told that I had ovarian cysts and was prescribed medicines to regulate my periods. I was also given another large pink-colored tablet, but I don’t remember its name. After taking the medicines, I experienced sudden weight gain. I later consulted another doctor who said the previous medicine dosage may not have been appropriate. PCOD/PCOS was never confirmed. My periods are still very irregular—sometimes I don’t get them for around 3 months and sometimes up to 9 months. I want to know the possible cause and what tests or evaluation I need.

Menstrual Cramps

I have these intense painful cramps during periods If I don't take medicine it lasts for a complete day which is too unbearable for me. I also use a hot water bag but it doesn't help me. I was thinking is there any remedy or syrup something I can drink so before my period so that there is not much pain in period.

Periods delay

Had unprotected intercourse on May 24 and took i-pill within 10 hours. I had no spotting or bleeding afterward. My periods usually come between the 6th and 10th of each month. On June 6, I had a period which is a bit heavy than the usual flow for 4–5 days and stopped. Could this have been spotting or was it a regular period? My next period came on July 7 and lasted 4–5 days with my usual flow. I have had no intercourse since May 24. Today is August 11, and my period hasn't come yet. Could I still be pregnant, or is this delay likely due to the pill? When can I expect my period?
