Hi Anonymous,
The sudden change in your menstrual cycle could be a sign of early perimenopause. Women start perimenopause at different ages, generally in their 40s, but some begin as early as their 30s.
Your late period could be a sign of pregnancy. If you are pregnant, you want to start getting prenatal care,taking prenatal vitamins, eating healthy and getting adequate amounts of folic acid.
Making an appointment to have a blood pregnancy done is up to you. Since the blood test is more accurate than a home pregnancy test, you can get a definitive answer and peace of mind. If the blood test is negative, this is a good opportunity to mention the missed period with your doctor, who can explore the cause.
