Hallow Dear,
Frequency of period is not a sign of pregnancy. It could be due to some hormonal imbalance like Oestrogen-Progesterone and/or Thyroid. If this has happened only for this time, you may wait for couple of cycles. If the irregularity persists, you will have to get investigated for your hormonal profile by blood examination for FSH, LH, Prolactin, Oestrogen, Progesterone, T3, T4, TSH, and any other if indicated. For that you will have to report to the Gynaecologist.
Such irregular menses are usually without egg release. If you are keen on getting pregnant, better get your status of ovulation (egg release) assessed. You can do that ultrasonography ovulation monitoring also.
Hope this helps you,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
