Delayed Period Followed By Light Brown To Pink Spotting, Severe Back Pain. Pregnancy Test Negative. Possible Pregnancy?

Today is 5 days late with my period. I took a test and it said negative, which was in the afternoon. Shortly after, I began to spot. It is light brown to sometimes light pink. I am having excruciating back pain for the past 5 days also. My period is like clockwork so I'm wondering if I could possibly be pregnant?....

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

It is always possible for a test to be falsely negative, so a confirmation blood test is indicated in your case. In all likelihood, you are not pregnant, and this could represent a persistent ovarian cyst. It would be best to get into your doctor as soon as possible for a blood test and an ultrasound.

I hope that this helps and good luck!

take confirmatory test like beta hcg level of blood or sonography of abdomen and pelvis
if you not pregnant there can be some abnormality in ovary
some times pain in back can be normal during period.. and delay in perid can occur because of stress or heavy physical activity etc..
