Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Hormonal pills are needed to regularize the cycles.
After using for few months possibly the hormonal levels in the body will get corrected.
So you stop the tablets now and observe whether your cycles are becoming regular or not.
And also you have to do exercise to maintain ideal body weight to your height. This helps in regularization of the cycles.
Taking nutritious diet, avoiding fast foods, excess oil etc. are needed.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
