Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic

Delayed periods along with spotting need further evaluation to look for pregnancy. I would recommend that you take a home pregnancy test. If positive, follow up with a gynecologist to evaluate the cause for early pregnancy spotting.
If pregnancy test is negative, then delayed periods could be due to stress, exercise ,diet changes, hormonal pills etc. You can wait for. a week to see if period starts and if not, repeat pregnancy test and follow up with a gynecologist.

Hope this answers your question
