Your probably aren't pregnant, but I would have a pregnancy test done just to make sure, it couldn't hurt at least you will know that isn't the cause. It maybe from the medicine from the yeast infection or the yeast infection itself could have thrown your cycle off a bit. Have you been under a lot of stress lately? Or on new medication for anything? Or have been ill? These are things that could attribute to a delay in your cycle, but when in doubt always go to your doctor.

sound to me like the treatment you have been given for your yeast infection is effecting your periods, also sounds like stress maybe a contributing factor.

Although that is not to rule out the possibility of being pregnant.

Many woment go through the majority of their pregnancy without knowing, and it is still possible to have a period in the early stages of your pregnancy before it stops.

Either way it's best to get to your docs - who will be able to confirm whats going on!! Try are not to worry and stay calm, it's probably nothing; but it's always best to ask the docs to put your mind at rest if nothing else. He may need to change your medication for example.
