Possible PCOS.: Some women suffer from a condition called pcos or polycystic ovarian syndrome which is a spectrum of issues from excessive body and facial hair to menstrual irregularity to truncal obesity and even Insulin resistance. Get checked out by your gynecologist so that tests can be run to ensure that medication is not called for.
