What is your question exactly? You provided background info, but I don't know what you are asking. If you are asking if you are pregnant than I would say probably not since you have had a period this month. If you are asking if something is wrong because your period fluctuates, I would say no, nothing is wrong - it is normal for a period to start on different dates as long as it is about once a month. Keep in mind: periods don't sit there looking at a calendar saying "okay, tomorrow is the 17th so THAT is when I need to start" - they just kind of go every 28 days or so.
If you want a more regular period, try starting birth control pills. The pills help your body to time it better so you can be expecting it and not deal with any embarrassing moments.
Hopefully I answered your question - if not, you should post what the question is and I will try to come back and help. =) Good luck!
Questions for you:
How old are you?
How many years have you had a period?
Have you had a miscarriage?
Have you been going through a lot of stress lately?
When you are young - teen years - and your period is still new, it is very irregular and does weird things. Sometimes it will skip, sometimes it will pause in the middle and resume in a couple days, sometimes you will have multiple. It is normal for a period to be weird for the first year or so.
If you have had an abortion or miscarriage your body may do weird things afterward as it resets itself. This could be one.
If you have been under a lot of stress your period can be very weird. Girls in the military often miss their periods all through out boot camp because the training is stressful. It is your body's way of protecting itself - it doesn't know WHY you are stressed out, but it knows that if you are stressed out it would be bad to get pregnant, so it temporarily stops the cycle. It may also act out by doubling up or being irregular. If it is stress related it will get back to normal after your stress levels drop back down to normal.
Here is the bad news: vaginas are frustrating. Any strange symptom related to your reproductive cycle could be jsut about anything. Abnormal periods, discharge, odors, pain - all of these things could mean anything: stress, sexually transmitted infection, urinary tract infection, yeast infection, cancer, pregnancy, or very possibly "hey, I am a vagina and this month I feel like being complicated". It is very frustrating medically to be a woman. SO: My best advice to you is to see your doctor about it. Like I said, it could be nothing and it could be something, and the only person who can tell you for sure is your doctor. Even if it isn't a big deal, your doctor could give you something to help regulate it so you don't have to deal with the annoyance of an irregular period. If you don't have medical coverage there are women's clinics, like Planned Parenthood, that offer these services for free or for a very small fee. Don't be scared off by the name "Planned Parenthood" - 80% of what they do is help people like you figure out what is going on if they don't have coverage.
I hope I have helped. Good luck! P.S. Try not to stress about it - that only makes it worse! LOL
