menstrual cycle question .. getting shorter then stopping?

im a little confused right now .

my periods have Always be regular .( they have had their slight changes as ive got older , but nothing major)

i had my son almost 17 months ago ,

my period returned 10 months ago ( after breastfeeding was cut down )

they were back like clockwork for 6 months , then on the 7th month the cycle was down to 26 days ( normally 30 days ) on the 8th month the cycle was down to 24days . 9th month it was down to 20 days and then this month it is yet to be seen. and we are on about day 34 of a cycle .

i have taken 2 pregnancy test . both negative .

even tho im getting pregnancy symptoms

but now im starting to think that maybe i just skipped a period this month.

which i have never done before.

Does any one know why your menstrual cycle would get shorter and maybe stop ?

or is it possible that i am pregnant and its to early to detect it ?

i understand ur not doctors , im looking for personal ( or friend of a friend lol ) experiences

i will be booking a doctor appointment next week if i still havent got my period .

Update:

im only 24

i hope its not menopause

    Your body is not exact and doesnt run on a calender. Its normal to have some variations.

    A late period can be caused by lots of things besides pregnancy - stress, anxiety, illness, change in schedule (ie going from day to night shift) or being over/under weight. I skipped mine for over 6months one year and then had it every two weeks for 3months in a row. The doctor said it was mild sort-of pcos caused by stress.

    If you are having unprotected sex, then go to a doctor for a proper blood test to make sure you aren't pregnant.

    wait for a while, if it doesn't come back see your doctor.

    how old are you? maybe you're going through early menopause?
