Time for visit: I would visit an OBGYN for evaluation and treatment. The issue could be several things. Your problem is not unusual and is one of the reasons the original work was done that developed the BC pill. It was originally tested as a solution to such problems, but the side effect of reduced fertility became it's eventual main use.
