   Hello Patty3167
   
   You may be starting early menopause. There is a blood test that you can ask your Dr.to run for you, to check your FSH levels (Follicle Stimulating Hormone). You didn't mention any tests that you had done,(except pregnancy tests) so I would also check your thyroid levels since your thyroid also controls your periods. I would also request a testosterone check and a transvaginal ultrasound of the ovaries to recheck that cyst. I am going by medical experiences that I have gone through myself over the years.When I was 30 yrs old, I had developed an ovarian tumor on my left ovary that was producing testosterone at very high levels. I would get my period every three months,developed facial hair,and sounded like a boy going through puberty! Maybe I am over reacting a bit and you could certainly begin with just the thyroid and FSH levels to see if that holds the answer to your late periods. I just figured that I would give you all the ideas that I had for you to use if need be. Good luck,I hope this info helps put an end to your mystery. I will be following your story, so if you have any questions for me, I will respond.
