Probably not: Menstrual bleeding is usually sign that you are not pregnant. If you think you might be pregnant, then you should do a pregnancy test. If it is negative, do another pregnancy test in 7-10 days. If both are negative then it is very likely that you are pregnant. More than likely, you are experiencing some irregularity in your menstrual cycle, which commonly occurs in most women now and then.

Bleeding: if you think you may be pregnant then you should check a pregnancy test. If it is negative this may represent an early period.
