Hello
thank you for your query.
As it was not a normal period, there could be one of many possibilities.
Very rightly it could be an early pregnancy.
It could also be a miscarriage.
It could be an ectopic pregnancy.
Other differentials include stress, anxiety, weight changes, travelling, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovaries, high prolactin levels or taking hormonal medication.
The only way to confirm the diagnosis is by visiting a gynecologist for appropriate evaluation
take care.
