What Causes Delayed Periods And Abdominal Cramps?

I have a question about my period. My last period was Sept. 14 - Sept. 17. It s always on time & a week before it comes I always get tender breast. This month everything was different. My period was supposed to come October 12th but it didn t . October 8th I started cramping & cramped all the way up until the 12th, which is weird because I never cramp before my period, whenever I do it always come a few min later. & also my breast wasn t even tender that week prior to my expected period. I even notice i was extremely tired that week , even my boyfriend, i was bloated, had a increased appetite, & i was nauseated from around October 8th to October 13th. October 15th I noticed some brown spotting, and a few hours later I noticed light pink blood, then later it got dark & has been heavy every since with mild & entense cramping. The day I missed my period I took a hpt. which came out negative but later on it looked like it had a faint positive line like 6 hours later, I tried the same thing when I was 2 days late & looked at the new one the next morning it was at first negative & later looked postive. I don t know if I was really pregnant or am I just having a late heavy period. Could you help me?

Hi,
Thanks for sharing your concerns
I'm Dr. Remy, I have read through your query carefully,
From your description, there is a chance for you to be pregnant provided you have not used any morning after pills. The urine pregnancy kit takes some time to show the exact result and the HCG levels in the blood needs to rise up and then get filtrated through the kidney to reach the urine.
I would suggest you to repeat a urine pregnancy test after 3-4 days or you may also do a blood HCG level test inorder to confirm.

Hope this helps
Kindly revert back for any further queries you have
Thanks and regards
