If you have been having regular periods, and they have been normal for you, it is unlikely that you are pregnant. You could always try a pregnancy test to give you some peace of mind.

If the weight gain is unusual for you, it would be a good idea to contact your doctor for a check-up.

Women can have some bleeding in pregnancy, believing it to be a period, although technically it isn't. Try a test... better to know one way or the other. With either result, you'll want to see your doctor.
