What Causes Inconsistencies In Menstruation?

my boyfriend and i had sex during the time i was most likely to get pregnant. i took an early detection pregnancy test and it said that i wasnt pregnant. and then i got my period but it came about 3 days early. the first day it was heavy and the next day it was light. it only lasted for 2 days. this is really unusual for because i always get my period on time and it always lasts for about 4-5 days.

Hi,
A heavy period usually does not happen with an intact pregnancy. There can be slight variations in the menstrual cycle occasionally due to transient hormone imbalances which often settle down in a couple of cycles. These can be due to sudden weight disturbances, stress, certain medications and infections. If you are still in doubt about the possibility of a pregnancy, please get an assessment of the serum beta-hCG titres and a trans-vaginal sonogram. Hope this helps.
