Irregular periods: Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections & hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do a home pregnancy test . There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.

Pregnancy?: First, you need to determine if you are pregnant. Get a pregnancy test. If your last menses was Apr 5, you should have had another period about May 3-4. If your periods are always irregular like this, you need this evaluated to determine why. If your periods are usually regular, monthly, this new irregularity could be fue to stress. But you must find out whether or not you are pregnant.
