Hello and welcome to HCM,
At first place, I suggest you to take an urine pregnancy test to look for evidence of pregnancy.
Pregnancy is the most common cause of delayed or absent periods.
Other symptoms - sore breasts, dizziness, sleepiness, tiredness and bloating are non-specific.
Tiredness may be due to anemia, I suggest you to get a complete hemogram done.
Bloating and tenderness of breasts usually occur under influence of progesterone hormone. Progesterone hormone level rises during pre-menstrual period.
Slight pinkish discharge is also non-specific symptom.
There is a possibility that the periods have just got delayed and the symptoms are under the effect of hormones.
I suggest you to wait for your periods if the pregnancy test is negative.
If there is undue delay with a negative pregnancy test, you may consult your gynecologist.
Thanks and take care
