Irregular Period, Experienced Cramping, Loss Of Appetite. Could I Be Pregnant?

Hi. Im 19. I ve always had irregular periods. I will sometimes skip a month but I have never skipped a month and experienced cramping before until now. My last period was Dec. 12 .2012. I have also had a loss of appetite . I get these cramps on and off and at first they were very severe but they have now calmed down a little bit. Could I be pregnant?

Hello,
First of all, you have to rule out pregnancy ( as your period is late by 3 weeks from expected due date) by blood test for beta HCG or ultrasound scan.
In exclusion of pregnancy, causes of irregular period are hormonal imbalance, stress/anxiety, ovarian cyst/PCOD, thyroid problem, wt gain/extreme loss, irregular eating habits, psychological factor etc.
Need to investigate properly to rule out underlying pathology by USG lower abdomen,Thyroid profile, LH/FSH, blood sugar, blood estrogen & progesterone level etc. So consult with your doctor and take suggestive measures.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet with iron supplements, control body wt ,maintain genital hygiene and need proper sleep.
