Periods Delayed, Had Spotting Before, Lasted In Few Hours With Cramps. Trying To Conceive. Pregnant?

Hello doctor,
I usually have my periods like clockwork but this time it was late by a day and had spotting a day before the period due date and had my period, late by a day but only lasted for 15 to 18 hours with severe cramps. We are currently trying to concieve. I had tested with home pregnancy test when period stopped. Should I test again.could I be pregnant.
Please advice,
Thank you,
Asha

Hi,
As you had scanty period lasted for one day, there is a chance of having pregnancy.
You got test a bit early.
Go for test after 7-8 days passed of your expected date of period.
Take morning mid stream urine for testing.
Ok and wish you good luck.
