What Causes Delayed Periods With Vaginal Spotting?

Hi, I am over due by 5 days and spotting very light tinge since last night. It looks like i am losing my mucous plug. I have not called the hospital or visited them. I am having very irregular contractions since last night. Is it ok to wait until i get regular ones?

hello madam,i understand your concern.In my opinion you should do the urine pregnancy test.If it is positive vaginal spotting with contractions suggest symptoms of abortion.If it is weakly positive it may be due to abnormal pregnancy like ectopic pregnancy.And you also need to do the ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis.So better you consult OBGY immediately and get the tests done and take appropriate treatment.And sorry theres no place for waiting. Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
