Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You should consult a gynaecologist for urine, blood test and ultrasonography to rule out pregnancy because your period is delayed and you are not using any type of contraception.
This bleeding may be because of your impending period if your tests are negative.
Good luck.
Take care.
