What Causes Delayed Period And Irregular Vaginal Spotting While On Pregnacare?

I have been taking pregnacare for two months and from that time I have had irregular period(it use to be regular before). I am currently five days late, however I have been seeing light and little spotting when i wipe after urination. I am also having all the symptoms I would have when I usually see my period. but no heavy flow. I am not sure I am having my period or I am pregnant. How long should I wait before I can confirm which it is?

Hello ma'am and welcome.

Pregnacare can at times cause menstrual irregularities and so experiencing a delay can be normal. However, as tou must be trting to conceive ruling out or diagnosing pregnancy will be mandatory. Go ahead with a home pregnancy test using an early morning urine sample. Repeat the test 2-3 times with a gap of 2 days each time for more confirmed results.

Best wishes.
