Take a test : 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.

Possibly. : You should get a home pregnancy test or see your doctor for a blood pregnancy test. It is possible that you are having a miscarriage or simply an irregular menstrual cycle depending on your ovulation pattern. If your pregnancy test is positive , follow up with your doctor to evaluate for early complications of pregnancy including ectopic pregnancy.
