Hi my name is Ciara,
I'm 4-6 days late coming on my period I said 4-6 days is because I used come on between the 1-3 of each month. I had started spotting a couple days ago then it got lighter but its only on there when I wipe myself. I have night sweaty heahche and pain in my lower back. Took a pregnancy test but it came back negative. I just had a baby 6 months ago I don't or need another baby right now I need answer and help?

Hi ciara yung,
Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for sharing your question with our community!
There are a number of things that can cause a period to be late, besides pregnancy. Some of the most common causes of a delayed or irregular period include:
- Stress
- Hormone Issues
- Weight Issues
- Birth Control
- Exercise - Did you recently begin exercising more?
- Breast feeding
- Medications
- Traveling
For more details on each of these causes, I recommend checking out this article: https://www.empowher.com/menstrual-cycle/content/think-youre-pregnant-10-other-reasons-your-period-might-be-late?page=0,2
Are you on any type of birth control or did you have unprotected sex? Anytime you do have unprotected sex, it increases your chances of pregnancy.
Taking a pregnancy test is the best way to confirm whether or not you are pregnant. You mentioned your first one was negative, but if you are still concerned, try taking another to see a 2nd result.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
