What Does Delayed Period And Light Cramping Indicate?

Hello. I am 9 days late as of today which is completely abnormal for me since I'm very regular. I have had some cramping lately but nothing has ever come with it. This morning I noticed some pinkish blood when I wiped followed with some light cramping. I have taken 2 HPT when I was 6 days late but they were both negative. I was just wondering if there is a chance I could be pregnant despite the bleeding or if this is my actual period that just decided to be late this month.

Hello dear,i understand your concern.In my opinion the delayed period in a regularly menstruating sexually active woman should be tested for pregnancy.The urine pregnancy test gives accurate results a week after missed period.I suggest you to repeat the test after a week.If even then the test is negative there is no chance for pregnancy.And this spotting might convert to bleeding spontaneously.So relax and check for the period.Sometimes stress regarding the thought of pregnancy also make the cycles irregular.If the irregular spotting continues then a doctor consultation might be needed.
