Could I Still Be Pregnant Despite Having Spotting Along With Negative UPT? 

I have a question, I m afraid I think I might be pregnant but I m not sure. Recently I got really sick but it only last 3-4 days. I still have a stuffy nose. I started spotting too but it went away and I don t get my period until 4 days. I started cramping really bad for a while and the smell of ketchup is killing me. to me its a really strong weird smell.. can this be signs I m pregnant? I also have an irregular period.

HI,
I understand your concern.
Pregnancy test of urine can diagnose pregnancy only after 8 days delay in periods. So your test can be -ve due to early testing. The spotting for only 2-3 days can be irregular period/ implantation bleeding.
You had cold & were sick- which can delay period/ and also you have habit of irregular periods. common cold & infected sinuses/ hormonal imbalance causing menstrual irregularity- can also lead to weird smells.
* in this situation,I would advise for repeat pregnancy test at proper time to confirm pregnancy .In case *n case it is -ve, consult a gynecologist for irregular periods.
Thanks.
