Check a pg test.: Take a pregnancy test, and follow the instructions exactly. If positive and you have bleeding and/or pain and/or dizziness, go to the ER to make sure you don't have an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. If negative and next period is also abnormal see doc to find out why (and use protection!)
