I was due for my period 3 days ago and did not get it. since yesterday i have been having light bleeding which i notice only on toilet paper. ?

Pregnancy test: First, be sure whether you are pregnant or not. If not, sometimes a woman's period will be a few days late: that by itself is not a problem if you eventually have normal menstrual bleeding. If your normal period does not start shortly, you might check with your gynecologist about possible hormonal issues.
