Hi,
As you are into peri-menopause, it is common to have irregular periods of all sorts. Yet, you should be watchful because it is during this period that a pregnancy is always unexpected. You may wait for a couple of days before testing for pregnancy. Also, it is advisable at this age to have a complete evaluation at least once in a year along with a trans-vaginal sonogram. Hope your query is answered. Take care.
