Now it is March 2 and I ve not got my period for the month of February. I normally get it between the 20th-25th. Is there a chance I got be pregnant?

Hi,

What you are experiencing is an irregular cycle or intercycle spotting.

Once in a while, it could be a normal occurrence, do not worry.

Stress, anxiety, recent changes in your weight, unaccustomed exercise, travelling, smoking, drinking, late nights, erratic eating habits - all can cause such bleeding.

Disturbances in thyroid hormones, polycystic ovaries, fibroids, cervical lesions, polyps, endometrial hyperplasia - all can be responsible.

Have you always been regular with your periods? What are your height and weight? Have you ever experienced bleeding or spotting after sex?

You should have a thorough gynecological evaluation. This should include an internal exam - per vaginum and per speculum, and a pelvic transvaginal ultrasound scan.

A Pap smear also should be done. Hormonal levels - FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin, OGTT, DHEAS, Free testosterone - should be done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
General Surgeon
