A member asked:

I am 4 days late, i had a very light spotting on days 7, 6, 5 days before my missed period i also am having cramps on my left lower side?

Could be pregnant: But could also be a cyst on your left ovary. If it's unusual for your periods to be late, then you should definitely take a pregnancy test. If negative, then see your doctor and request a pregnancy test and an ultrasound.
