Period was 6 days late but two days long?

A female United States age 36-40, *inicky One writes:

Well hello I was wondering if I could be pregnant because my period was six days late and I only bled for two days. I usually have regular periods and I thought that maybe my period didn't come because February only has 28 days and mine come every 8th day. When my period came(on the 14th)it was heavy the first day. It lightened up and now just a regular period, but it lasted two days. Could I be pregnant?

A female reader, anonymous, writes (30 March 2009):

I would say this was probably not your period but some other type of bleeding, such as implantation bleeding, a non-ovulatory cycle bleed, or a very early miscarriage. Miscarriages can happen before a woman even knows she's pregnant. I go to the library or bookstore and get the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility", it shows you how to get to know your body better, understand unexplained bleeding, your fertility signs, and using natural birth control (or tips for pregnancy achievement). Its easy to tell if its a miscarriage or implantation bleeding if you know your body and your cycle well.

k_c100 agony auntWell you dont mention if you have had unprotected sex recently? Or whether you have had sex and the condom broke?

Unless you have experienced either of the above then it is highly unlikely you are pregnant. Periods can be different every time, it isnt anything to worry about.

But if you have had unprotected sex then there is a chance you could be pregnant, I suggest you buy a pregnancy test from your local pharmacy which will put your mind at ease.

I hope this helps!
