A member asked:

I started my period a week early, could i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely not: Unless this period that started a week early is very light and short, it is unlikely that an early period means you are pregnant. There are many reasons to have a period be early including stress, hormones being off, infection, illness. But if you are still concerned check a pregnancy test.
