What Causes Delayed Period With Vaginal Spotting?
Question: I had sex with my boyfriend for a week an half straight. Now im 6 days late on my period but now when I wipe after I pee I have a little bit of bright red blood and sometimes light pink. I dont know whats going on am I starting my period?
Brief Answer:
Either its period starting or you are pregnant.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It can be your periods starting, particularly if there is mild crampy pain associated with it.
But if protection was not used during sex, you might be pregnant and this is implantation bleeding.
Steps to followed are, wait and watch.If period doesn't come in a week then get a pregnancy test done.
And if period comes , then just watch for next period whether its regularised or again delayed.In case it is delayed, see your doctor to see everything is fine.
Hope this answers your question.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.

We used protection so I dont understand why my period is late. I dont have any signs of pregnancy symptoms
Brief Answer:
In that case we will have to think of other causes
Detailed Answer:
Causes like stress, hormonal imbalance and ovarian cysts can cause delayed period.
So, the approach would be wait for one more week to see if periods come.And if they dont, then see doctor to get clinical evaluation.
Also get a pregnancy test done prior going to doctor, as doctor would anyways want to get it done to be sure.This can help you avoid a second visit.
Hope this helps.Regards.
