Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Test: Why worry about it? If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available at any pharmacy. If negative and your cycles continue to be irregular over the next few months schedule a visit to an Obgyn.
