No: However, your irregular bleeding needs to be evaluated for its cause. A serum pregnancy test is the first thing that is checked. Other medical problems can cause irregular bleeding. Also, what is your form of birth control. Is it a pill, patch, ring, implant, iud? All can cause irregular bleeding.
