 What Does Delayed Period Along With Spotting Indicate? 

Hi. I had unprotected sex on feb 10, day I ovulated. I always have a 31 day cycle so my last period was Jan 25. I missed my period as usual on 25 and today is day 13 of missed period and I had beta Hcg done , showing negative. I was advised a 5 day course of duphaston 2-0-2. I had very light bleeding, few drops today , every day for last couple days, but only a few drops which is unlikely coz I have heavy flow and doesn t look like period blood. Pls advice. Is there a chance I m pregnant ?

Hi, I think you can repeat a urine pregnancy test at home to rule out pregnancy. Pregnancy can be one of the reason of such bleeding. But it can happen due to some infections also. Get yourself examined by a gynecologist. You may need some antibiotics and antifungal drugs.
