Hello dear
I understand your concern
Delayed period and light pink spotting could be a pregnancy.
I advise you to repeat the urinary pregnancy test after 2 days to confirm the pregnancy.
Also go for blood HCG test to accurate confirmation of the pregnancy. (very accurate test).
Light pink spotting could be a implantation bleeding. Bit it is associated with the mild cramp and high blood HCG.
If pregnancy test will be negative then other causes of delayed period like hormone imbalance, excessive stress, ovarian cyst, endometriosis should be rule out by consulting the gynecologist.
Avoid stress, do regular exercise and take healthy diet with multivitamin supplements.
Hope this may help you
