I missed my period, and I am currently eight days late.

I am sexually active and I am not on any type birth control. My cycle is usually regular, as far as starting of my cycles and the very beginning of month and moving down as the calendar as the year past.

But yesterday, I started getting cramps in the lower stomach area, I am still cramping and now seeing a light pink when I wipe, but nothing on my pad.

Could I be pregant or could this be a miscarriage?

Dr Fong Yoke Fai replies:

You should go for a consultation ASAP, rather than try to guess what could be happening. Unless there is a doctor’s confirmation, it could be an ectopic pregnancy which could be dangerous.
