no never have a two day period it's always 5 days normal not sure if I have them regular every 4 weeks about I think is the cycle...
Brief Answer:
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT RIGHT NOW, REPEAT TEST.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
This is a period that has deviated from the normal.
There could be various reasons for this.
Take a pregnancy test again tomorrow, 31st was slightly early.
IF the test is negative, still relax.
There are commoner causes - stress, weight changes, unaccustomed exercise, travelling, late nights, erratic eating, smoking, drinking, hormonal medications etc.
IF any of these are applicable, they could be reasons.
DO not worry about a deviant cycle once in a while.
I do not think you would not menstruate on the 7th now, you might have a regular period next after 4 weeks.
If this irregularity persists in the next cycle, then you should see a Specialist.
I would then outline the workup to be done, in case this recurs.
Take care.

But does having two day period mean possibly that when it doesn't implant it just flushes out sooner causing a period for two days. I know that it happened around implantation time but that happened to me last month too I had a period 5 days after ovulation during a time we tried to conceive as well. I will have to document my periods to see how irregular they are. Thank you and have a great day! :)
Brief Answer:
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT
Detailed Answer:
Even if implantation fails, you would have a normal period length, flow and duration.
Yes, maintain a cycle diary and let me know.
If you had your last period the same way, maybe your cycle length has shortened, which often happens.
Take care.
