A member asked:

I quit taking my anti-depressants (wellbutrin and lexapro) a month ago, cold turkey after 17 years of use. and my last couple of menstrual cycles have been long and irregular. could going off the ant-depressants be the cause?

MORE LIKELY: another reason is present. Consider having your doctor check your thyroid function.
