Are Late Periods, Cramps And Spotting Signs Of Pregnancy?
My period is late by 2 weeks on day one of my due period I had brown spotting but it only lasted the morning two weeks later (today) I had what I thought was my period but of an orange/ bright red color and it too only lasted for the morning. I ve been have diarrhea and on and off menstrual cramps. Could I be pregnant?

Hello,
To come to a conclusion as to whether you are pregnant or not, please get a proper clinical assessment, estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres and a trans-vaginal sonogram to know the status of the pelvic organs. If positive, the spotting you had when the period was due could be an implantation bleed, but, the bleeding that happened after two weeks raises concern and needs to be further investigated and hormones given if necessary. If negative, this picture suggests hormone deficiency and need correction. Hope this helps.
