Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
PCOD is one of the most common causes of irregular periods and problems conceiving. In women who are not trying to conceive, oral contraceptives can be used to normalise the periods.
The irregularity of your periods would be due to the missed doses of contraception, though if you are sexually active you may want to rule out pregnancy.
If pregnancy is ruled out then you can restart the pill.
In terms of the weight, modifying the diet can help you to lose the weight gained. The weight loss may also help regularise the periods (part of PCOS management is lifestyle changes which include weight loss).
There are two main types of diets to help with weight loss: the low fat/low calorie diet or the low carb diet.
You can choose which one best suits you.
I hope this helps
