Hi,

I understand your concerns.

There are various factors causing your menstrual periods to delay:
- stress you are going through as you have spinal area
- hormonal changes

Meloxicam can ease the menstrual spasms, but not causing delayed periods.

I advise to wait for a few more days and take another pregnancy test 10 days after your due date.

All the best.
