Delayed Periods, Light Brown Spotting, Cramps In Lower Abdomen, Sore Breasts, Lower Back Pain. Possible Pregnancy?
My period is two days late, however, I've been experiencing a lot of light brown spotting. Not only that, but i've been having some sharp cramping and pains in my lower abdomen as if my period is about to come on but it hasn't. My breasts are sore sometimes and sometimes i have lower back pains. Could this mean that I'm pregnant?

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
You can get blood HCG or UPT test done to know your pregnancy status.
There will be spotting even in pregnancy due to implantation of fertilized ovum.
Once pregnancy is ruled out you can wait for few days for periods to start normally.
Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further examination and management.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
