Period late by 7 weeks and started spotting

[Vaandu]

Hello! My periods are regular like clockwork. This month, I was 8 days late (never happened in over a decade). I thought I was pregnant and did HPTs, but negative. I was planning to go for a blood test today, but have started spotting lightly. I am totally confused. Should I get the blood test done? Did anybody else face this? Please help!

7 days not weeks

I doubt they'd do a blood test for period that's a week late. It's likely you either ovulated late or didn't ovulate. I'd wait a few more days and then take another test, if the spotting turns to nothing, then wait until your period is next due before seeing a GP. Missing one period/ it being very late isn't unusual and isn't cause for concern.
