Hell,
Having periods every 3 weeks is completely normal. I think you've messed up your hormones by using orals.
Best thing to do now is to consult with a gynaecologist and get your sexual hormones checked. I also recommended checking thyroid hormones too.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
