Hello,
There are numerous reasons for having irregular periods. . High level of stress, cholesterol, hormonal imbalance, chain smoking, dramatic changes in your life style may be some of the common causes of you 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 please consult a gynecologist and get yourself thoroughly examined to diagnose the cause of irregular periods and start with the treatment.

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.

If there is a high chance of you being pregnant or it will stress you out until you know maybe you should. The worst that you'll find is you wasted the money for nothing. Personally I hate not knowing, so I would get a test- but that is me.

Periods can sometimes be a little off due to hormones, weight, stress, temperature, etc. so you may have nothing to worry about. Sometimes, even when you don't think you're very stressed it could have a large effect on your period.
