Q: 

Could I be pregnant?

I am 36 years old and my period is 5 days late. I don't have any children and I have never been pregnant. Therefor I'm sure what I should be looking for. I have also gained about 12 pound in the last 2 months. Should I take a pregnant test or is it that I have gained weight?

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

A pregnancy test will let you know if you are pregnant; one would be accurate by now. If you are not, you may be eating too much over the holiday season or have something else going on (hormones/thyroid/stress etc) that is causing the weight gain and upsetting your menstrual cycle.
Best,
Susan
