I have two thoughts. If you have had unprotected sex since your last period, there is a possibility this was implantation bleeding. In this scenario, I would suggest you wait and if your period doesn't start, repeat the pregnancy test in one week.
My second thought is based on the fact that a delicate balance of hormones regulate the menstrual cycle. Any imbalance results in menstrual changes. In addition to pregnancy, fluctuations in hormone levels can be the culprit. Thyroid disorders, a problem with the pituitary gland, which produces follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, or a problem with the ovaries, which secrete estrogen and progesterone are all possible causes.

Best to consult your gynecologist.
