Sexual intercourse: Condoms are an excellent way to reduce the risk of STDs and pregnancy, but not 100% by any means. If you are sexually active, it is possible you are pregnant. Check a pregnancy test (can be purchased in drugstore) a week after your missed period.

Common problem : 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.
