Mild period like cramps with light brownish spotting- could i be pregnant? period is 5 days late and never late before, sore breasts, but negative hpt

Perhaps: Might be a late period starting or you could be pregnant. Consider retaking pregnancy test in a week if still no period. Take care.

Possible: It is possible to have some spotting when a fertilized egg is implanting. You can recheck a urine pregnancy test in another week or see your doctor and ask about a serum or blood pregnancy test to know for sure.
