What Causes Delayed Periods Along With Vaginal Spotting?

What do you think this is when you wipe and find pink on the toilet paper after urinating? My last period I had 2 days and that early in the morning I stop and November 9th was my last day.. I always have my periods around the 13th-18th of every month 6 days. But I never had one in from that day we had sex and 2 weeks later took a test Clearblue it showed positive about around an hour later in December had no period and this month i pee then wipe and there light pink on the toilet paper.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Absence of periods from the time that you had sex can be due to pregnancy.
Pregnancy can be confirmed by urine pregnancy test (UPT) which becomes positive around 10-14 days after date of ovulation or day of unprotected sex.
I suggest you to take up UPT around 10-14 days.
The off and on spotting that you are experiencing is not alarming.
However, if the UPT comes out to be negative, I suggest you to consult your gynecologist for clinical assessment and relevant investigations.
Hormonal imbalance is a common cause of delayed periods and this has to be ruled out with relevant investigations.

Thanks and take care
