Take a test: If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available at any pharmacy. If it is negative then you are just late this month. Track your cycles over the next few months. If they continue to be irregular then see your doctor. Usually they just go back to normal.
