Hello,
It may happen sometimes that the periods vary and are not as usual. On the other hand, anytime a woman is sexually active and has a variation in her bleeding pattern it is safer to have a pregnancy test to make sure.
I would advise you to have a urinary pregnancy test now and if it is negative to repeat it in 4-5 days to have a more accurate result.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
