IF concerned: If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available at any pharmacy. It sounds like you are not pregnant since you had a period. Consider starting birth control to obtain menstrual cycle control and to prevent pregnancy scares.
