Hello there,
You probably have a condition called PCOS.you need to get some blood tests done.Check blood sugar.Also get ultrasound of pelvis.This is a condition whuch requires treatment and without that you probably wont concieve. The facial hair is also a symptom.I suggest you see a gynacologist and an endocrinologist.Your low thyroid will also cause period problems.

hiii mam,
You are 20yrs now and menarche on 11 yrs. Basically period may be irregular for first 2 yrs after menarche (due to anovulation) which is quite normal. After that it becomes regular.
Your current problem is irregular period with facial hair. I think you are suffering from "OLIGOMENORRHOEA" due to "PCOD" (Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease) and THYROID problem. So need to investigate properly.
** OLIGOMENORRHOEA:
It is defined as infrequent period and delay of several months in between and more common in pubertal girls.It is mostly due to inadequate maturation of H-P-O axis and inadequate hormonal stimulation.
The cycle are often anovulatory in first 1-2 yrs.Gradually full development of normal ovulatory cycle and it will not have any harmful effect in future fertility.
Other Causes:
1)Mental & physical stress like vigorous exercise
2)Anorexia nervosa-if wt less than 47kg,mens remain scanty.
3)Over wt
So you need to do a USG, Thyroid function test, FSH/LH, Lipid Profile with blood sugar, Prolactin level to evaluate hormonal imbalance and consult to your gynaecologist.
Along with maintain a healthy diet, Control wt and Regular light exercise.
All the best. For further suggestion mail me.....my Id: soumenmmch@gmail.com
