Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Delayed & Irregular periods can be because of many reasons. It can be related to getting pregnancy if you had unprotected intercourse since your last period. In that case you should do a pregnancy test first.
Light spotting could be implantation bleeding as it was light & lasts for 2-3 days maximum. Implantation bleeding occurs after conceiving & this type of bleeding is also indicative of pregnancy possibility in you.
Other reasons that can be responsible for irregular periods are mentioned below:-
1 Poly cystic ovary disorder can cause delayed & irregular periods
2 Excessive weight gain or weight loss can cause changes in your pereiods
3 Hormonal disease like thyroid can cause irregular periods
4 Over exercising as in sports persons, athletes can also cause irregular periods

Refer to a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
