Hello,
Since you have been experiencing abnormal bleeding for the last two cycles, I think you should see your doctor to know the cause. Abnormal bleeding pattern is seen with some of the contraceptives also. You should also rule out any threatened or missed abortion. As you have had the cycles at the usual time, chances of pregnancy are less. Good luck.
