A member asked:
I am now 5 days late on my period. did a hpt on saturday and negative. had spotting about a week and half ago. what can this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Late period: Several possibilities. One possibility is pregnancy, and you may have taken the home pregnancy test too early to detect the pregnancy. Repeat the home pregnancy test now and if negative, repeat again in another week. Do you have any symptoms?
