Irregular menses: Your irregular menses and amenorrhea are likely hormonal in nature. In other words you likely have a hormonal imbalance, assuming you are pre-menopausal. See your Gyn for hormonal testing; there are many new and safe hormonal replacement therapies.

For how long?: Take a pregnancy test and if negative then consult a physician about it. More information is needed to help you appropriately.
