 There are so many different reasons why this could be happening, but none of us are Doctors. You need a good OB/GYN and you need to take a list of all of your concerns to him. You should probably have a physical and a blood panel done to check your hormone levels and make sure that you aren't anemic. You may even have gotten pregnant after the last time you tested yourself. But we can only speculate, and you need a professional to talk this over with in order to get to the bottom of it. Frankly, my periods were never normal, and it took a long time for them to settle back into a pattern again after each pregnancy.
BTW, for anyone out there who has lapses of memory, I bought a small handheld digital voice recorder to take with me to appointments so that I don't forget any of what the Doctor tells me and I am sure of what he has said. It was only 29 dollars (and I can use it for other things...). I learned this tip after my brother went through cancer treatment. It makes following instructions easier. ;^)
