What Causes Delay In Menstruation?
Question: 4 days late, mauve discharge on day two, very light spotting then started my period on day 6. Did i miscarry?
Brief Answer:
no miscarriage, normal menses only..explained.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
If you have been delayed only by 4 days and then your menses started , it is unlikely that you are pregnant. The delay is possibly due to stress induced hormonal imbalance. However confirmation can be made by a serum beta hcg test which would still be raised if you were pregnant and this was an abortion.
