Usually my period is 4 to 5 days, this month i got my period but it was only 3 days, I've been feeling weird feelings in my lower stomach, and last night i had some a little thick mucus discharge in my underwear, could i be pregnant? Or what's wrong?

Thanks for the response, I've never had these symptoms since being on the pill after having my son in 2009, so that's why im concerned, I've been having back aches as welk with the lower abdominal feelings, aldo

Hello,
It looks like normal vaginal discharge which can change in consistency with phases of menstrual cycle. If you are taking birth control pills regularly then chances of pregnancy are less. Hello,
High level of stress, cholesterol, hormonal imbalance, chain smoking, dramatic changes in your life style may be some of the common causes of your irregular periods.

If this was the first episode of irregularity in the periods, then wait for the coming cycle and try lifestyle modification by reducing stress and decreasing cholesterol levels. But if the repeat happens, then consult a gynecologist and get yourself thoroughly examined to diagnose the cause of irregular periods and start with the treatment. In your case it can be the side effect of birth control pills.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
