Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You had your periods on 4th march. Even if the bleeding was light, the chances of being pregnant are minimal.
It is more likely to be a delayed period. Serum Hcg levels will help in confirmation of diagnosis.
The minor pain abdomen and feeling of bloating might be related to indigestion and is not diagnostic of pregnancy. The decreased amount of bleeding and delay in periods might be due to hormonal imbalance, emotional upset, anxiety, stress, or other medical conditions that affect the ovaries, uterus, hypothalamus, or pituitary gland. Hypothyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome or less frequently a pituitary tumor causing high prolactin levels or a hypothalamic disease are other causes that may be the cause here as pregnancy is less likely.
Please visit your gynecologist to undergo physical check up and also to undergo relevant investigations required in your case to find out the cause so that treatment can be given accordingly.

Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
