What Causes Irregularities In Periods?

I usually have irregular periods but for how irregular they are they re still consistently the same length and such. I feel and have felt like i was pregnant for about a month now and last night i had really light pink spotting. Right after i noticed, my fiancee and I had sex that was quite painful. Since then I have had bad cramps and more of a regular flow. Could I be pregnant or did i just get my period late?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion it might be just a irregular or delayed period.But if the bleeding is less like just spotting then a urine pregnancy test might be needed.But if the period is normal flow then it is mostly a period.The cause of irregular periods like thyroid abnormalities,PCOD,overweight or obesity ,stress need to be evaluated.Avoid stress if any.Weight reduction in case of overweight or obesity is helpful.
