Low SHBG?: Shbg, sex hormone binding globulin gets down-regulated in Insulin resistance (ir). Ir likewise makes you retain adipose tissue, or fat, particularly around the midline. This would explain your being overweight. Other things ir and low shbg can cause is polycystic ovarian syndrome, pcos. Ir frequently causes irregular menses. Have your dr. Check shbg levels and you for ir. See an endo. And ob/gyn.

Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.
