Irregular Periods: Pregnancy or Hormonal Imbalance?


Question
My last period started at night on June 15th and ended the morning of June 17th.  It was very light compared to my usual periods and was two days shorter than my regular period.  Also the period before that came three days early, stopped after a day, came back two days later and ended one day later than usual.
-------------------------

Followup To

Question -
I have not missed a period but I was wondering if I could be pregnant or experience hormone problems.  I have swollen breasts, which have for the past 5-6 weeks have been getting steadily larger.  I have have a lot cramps.  I took a pregancy test two weeks ago and it was negative.

I did not stop taking my birth control because it was prescribed to keep my hormone levels normal.  I have PCOS (my ovaries are not enlrged, I have high testerone levels).  

So my question is are these rare sign of pregnancy or a possible hormone problem and I may need to change my birth control pills (which I have been using for about 9 months).

Thanks!

Answer -
If you have not missed any periods, you are not pregnant. If you tell be when the first day of your last was, and the usually number of days in your cycle, I can figure out what is going on.

Answer
If  your last period started on June 15, the earliest that  you will ovulate would be on June 28 and  you could have conceived on June 25,26,27, or 28.  you are due for your next  period on  July 12. Therefore. tale a pregnancy test if you do not get your period by July  19. Don't worry.
