Interrupted Period: What Could It Mean? | Fertility Center

Question
Usually my periods last for around 5 days. I started 3 days ago and all of a sudden last night I didn't bleed at all, and today I only bleed the tiniest amount. I was wondering if this meant I could be pregnant or if something could be wrong.

Answer
Hello Darcy,

You don't need to worry.  This could be a normal variant.  Women's periods can vary from cycle to cycle.  They are not always exact.
