Hi, regesterone is a progesterone containing tablet which is given for inducing periods if periods get delayed and pregnancy test is negative. It will induce a withdrawal bleeding. I think you should go for evaluation for the irregular periods. Get a thyroid profile and prolactin levels and a ultrasound for your uterus and ovaries done. It can be due to some thyroid disorder or may be polycystic ovaries. You may need some hormonal treatment. Discuss with your doctor regarding this.
