Hi Thanks for posting on hcm.
There is a chance you may be pregnant since it is just 4 days of missed period I recommend you to take a test after a week. If you are experiencing pregnancy symptoms ot is recommended yo take folic acid as it will help in the proper development of embryo preventing defects called neural tube defects.
Good luck.
Hooe this is helpful to you.
