is this midcycle bleeding or actual menstruation?

Question

hi, i usually have a 38-41 day cycle and im not on any form of oral contraception. around day 26-29 of my (38-41 day) cycle, i experienced some light bleeding, enough to put a panty liner on. I am now 2 days delayed from my actual period and was wondering if the prior bleeding is really midcycle bleeding or is it already my period and my cycle's going haywire. or, still worse, could i be pregnant? i have had sex but all of them doubly protected.

Answer 1

This could be midcycle bleeding but I would recommend seeing your doctor for further evaluation of the situation because this could also be an indication of a hormone imbalance going on.
