Why Is The Color Of Blood Light Pink During Menstruation?
On Friday I did a pregnancy test and it was negetive. Yesterday I got my period (5 days late) but it was very light pink not the normal red in colour. I also had lower abdominal pains. Please can you help me or give me advise on what the problem could be? last month my period was 2 weeks late.

HI,
I understand your concern.
Scanty/pink bleeding with 5 days delay ,in your case ( with history of 15 days delayed period last time)- can be -
- delayed periods with pink /scanty bleeding can be an implantation bleeding. Home pregnancy test will not note it so early.(It can after 8 days delayed periods ), Blood pregnancy test gives earlier results.
- Hormonal imbalance making periods irregular. Certain hormonal estimations/ USG scan of ovaries would pin point the cause, followed by specific treatment.
Thanks.
