Pregnancy test: Take a pregnancy test to confirm not pregnant. If not, you may just be experiencing an abnormal period, which can happen on occasion. If negative test and continue to not have period, see your doctor for evaluation.

Common complaint: 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.
