Check pregnancy test: There is a chance of pregnancy despite two monthly periods. the over the counter pregnancy tests are very reliable. It is not unusual to experience an occasional variation in your cycle. change in sleep patterns, stress, weight/diet and exercise can impact your cycle. If you continue to note persistent and widely varying cycles I suggest you see your doctor. Continue monitoring your cycle.
