Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
No Delayed periods for just 7 days & then mild vaginal bleeding cannot be called miscarriage. This should be start of your menstrual period & bleeding should become heavy like a period. You have not got a positive pregnancy test & Delay of periods by just 7 days could happen due to many reasons as follow
1. Hormonal disturbance such as hypothyroidism could cause delayed periods
2. Excessive weight gain or weight loss can delay your period.
3. Eating disorder or high exercising in last month could also delay your period
4. Excessive stress could also delay your menstruation by hormonal change
Don't worry you would be fine
Consult a gynaecologist if bleeding is not like a period or if problem persists
Hope this information helps
