Current medical status: irregular periods and bleeding between periods, pain in pelvic area when period was due. Went to my primary physician a month ago, they did a pelvic exam, said it could be stress.
Current medical treatment: none


Given the symptoms you provided, it seems likely that you might be experiencing external body symptoms showing disbalance of sexual hormones in your organism. Sometimes women experience mid-cycle spotting and sharp pain (mittelschmertz) as a characteristic sign of rapid dropping of estrogen levels and a slow increase of progesterone, at the same time, happening right after an ovulation and, all in all, resulting in uteral light bleeding until progesterone reaches the needed level for this bleeding to stop. This is considered as pretty normal. Light variation of a day or two in menstrual cycle length (26-28 days) is not considered as an irregular cycle.

However, recent irregularities in cycle length (22 days), period being 9 days late and really sharp pelvic pains without menstruation when it should begin, might indicate a referral to a gynecologist, who might do hormonal blood tests as well as a transvaginal ultrasound to find out the reason for these symptoms and prescribe an adequate treatment, if needed. But you might want to wait until the next period, see if same symptoms repeat, and schedule the ob/gyn appointment if they do. In case these symptoms show they were only transitional and therefore do not appear again, then you might just wait until your next regularly scheduled PAP test and then bring it over to your gynecologist.
