Bleeding and possible pregnancy

I've been tracking my periods for close to a year now and they have always come on time, lasting 6 days. Last month I was 2 days late and was on for 4 days. This month I was 5 days late and was only on for 2 days. Could it be possible that I am pregnant, or maybe just having an irregular period?

Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER.  A woman's cycle is not always the same.  Sometime it can change due to many things like 

Significant weight gain or loss

Over-exercise

Poor nutrition

Smoking

Drug use

Caffeine

Excessive alcohol use 

Eating disorders

Increased stress

Polycystic ovarian syndrome/estrogen dominance

Uterine abnormalities (fibroids/cysts/polyps/endometriosis)

Hormonal imbalance related to perimenopause

Medications

Chemotherapy

 

You might want to take a home pregnancy test to be sure if you are indeed pregnant.

Best,

Daisy
