Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Delay in periods can occur due to many causes.
Menstrual cycle of 21 to 35 days duration can be taken as normal only.
Spotting you mentioned could be due to causes like :
- Post coital abrasions.
-Hormonal imbalance leading to intermenstrual spotting or premenstrual spotting etc.
Urine pregnancy test kit may not detect early pregnancy sometimes.
So better to go for blood test for pregnancy to rule out the possibility.
If the test comes negative, the possibility of pregnancy is less.
You wait for few more days and if you do not periods after 3 to 4 days also, consult gynecologist once and get examined.
If she recommends go for ultrasound.
Ultrasound helps in detecting the cause for your delayed periods.
After examination and investigations, you can take tablets to induce withdrawal bleeding with your doctor's advice.
And treatment can be taken to treat the cause.
Take care.
