Pregnancy test: Have you tried seeing what a home pregnancy might show? So long as you're late (and actually you are SUFFICIENTLY late) you run an excellent chance of getting a positive result if you're pregnant and a negative result which will virtually mean you're NOT pregnant.

Common complaint: 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.
