Question Hi
i have got my period on 23 of May the previous month it lasted about 5days (usually lasts full 7 days). I havent got my period this month (June)its now 4 days that i have missed it but i did get cramps that i usually get before i get my period but now for the past 2 days thats also gone. Last night i have vommited im not sure why though maybe it was just an upset tummy. Im married for 3 years now and i havent been using any contraceptive or protection... could i be pregnant or is it just a messed cycle?
Please help.
Answer Dear Zeenat,
You could very well be pregnant. Since your period is late you could take a home pregnancy test now and it would be accurate. Make sure to take the test first thing in the morning when your urine is the most concentrated.
