Hallow Dear,
Just a spotting at or around the time of expected menses may suggest possibility of pregnancy if later there is no menstruation. You do have history of unprotected sexual relations during this cycle. So you will have to look for the possibility of pregnancy.
Pregnancy test on the next day of missing a period is too early to perform. The test may report false negative when performed so early. These tests give best results about a week after missing the period. To find about the status of your pregnancy, you have following options:
1. Wait for a week more and then perform pregnancy test on the overnight early morning first urine sample.
2. You may go for Beta hCG test on your blood any time from now onwards. These tests are very sensitive and can detect the pregnancy even few days before missing a period. hCG values under 5 mIU/ml suggest 'no pregnancy' while values more than 25 mIU/ml are diagnostic of pregnancy.
Fasting for 16 days also can delay the menses. If the test detects that you are not pregnant and still if you do not get menses within reasonable time, you may take some progesterone preparation like Deviry for 5 days and then you will get withdrawal bleeding within 4-7 days.
I hope this helps you today.
