Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Your symptoms could be due to pregnancy, and hormonal imbalance. Spotting could be due to implantation bleeding. But it should be confirmed by the pregnancy test and or by blood HCG test to confirm the cause. If your period is delayed by 8 to 10 days then go for urine pregnancy test to confirm the pregnancy.
At present you can go for blood HCG test to confirm the pregnancy as it is more accurate the detect the pregnancy even with in 7 days of delayed period. If you do not want pregnancy then you can still terminate it by abortion pill under the advise of gynecologist. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water and do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.
Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
