Answer

XXXXXXXXXXXX,


If she hasn't done so already, she needs to see her doctor for a blood pregnancy test as this is the most accurate way of testing. The best time to test is at least two weeks after a missed period, so she should have one done now. Other reasons for period abnormalities include stress, weight gain/loss, thyroid, hormonal imbalance, infection, illness, medications, polyp, cyst, amongst other reasons. If the blood pregnancy test comes back negative, her doctor can do further testing to determine the exact cause. If a thyroid or hormonal imbalance is suspected, a simple blood test will show this.
