Answer
Hello Michelle from the U.S.,

Your irregular periods are not related to the miscarriage.  The problem lies in the fact that your ovaries are not functioning correctly.  There are several reasons why the ovaries would not function correctly and therefore an evaluation would need to be done to find the cause of the problem.  As long as your ovaries do not function correctly, you are probably not ovulating (giving off an egg), and so pregnancy is unlikely.  My recommendation would be to go see a fertility specialist for an evaluation and recommendations for treatment.

Good Luck,
