Yes, : Yes, it would be reasonable to take another test as your period is this late. The spotting is concerning, as they can mean several things, such as implantation bleeding (when a baby attaches) or an abnormal pregnancy, or it can just mean irregular periods. If it is negative, you could also go to a clinic and be ealuated by why your periods are so irregular. If you have pain, fever, or vomiting, then please be seen immediately.

If late : would take a pregnancy test. Since you haven't had a period in 2 & a half years - a gynecological examination is in order.

Pregnancy test: If you had sex since your last period, do pregnancy test. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine
