Hi
The cause of irregular periods for more than a year should be investigated to identify the cause.Taking regestrone for such a long period is not advisable due to the various side effects.A pelvic ultrasound and thyroid function test should be taken to rule out hormonal imbalance which can be caused by ovarian cysts or hypothyroidism.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
