It's possible it could be either/or. Have you taken a pregnancy test?

Hi Simplethings,
Welcome to the board! Well, you could be both....you are easily at an age where you might start noticing your period becoming "irregular" - sometimes, more frequent, sometimes later, heavier, lighter....welcome to the club!! Well, six days' isn't too bad....however, if you think you might be pregnant, you can get one of those home pregnancy test and check yourself out first. Let us know what happens....
