Ok here's the deal... last month my period was 2 days late (really no biggie) but when I got it it was awful. The cramps were so bad that I couldn't go to work for 2 days and I was bleeding so much with huge clots all through it. Now granted, I just got off the pill about 8-9 months ago now.

Now this month, I was supposed to get my period on the 18th but it still hasn't come. 6 days late this time... should I take a test? Or did I perhaps miscarry last month and not even realize it? Any advice would be helpful. It's never been that bad.

I would take a home pregnancy test
I cramped and bleed with my 4th pregnancy for a couple months.

I've never been pregnant though. I have all the signs that my period is on the verge (lower backache, slight crampy, fatigue) and I have had them for about 2 weeks now...

Premenstrual symptoms can mirror pregnancy symptoms. All you can do now is wait to see if you miss your period and test using first morning urine.

I am late... 6 days to be exact

Then feel free to test using first morning urine.

For both of my miscarriages, I had horrible cramping and lots of bleeding. The cramps lasted a day. I couldn't get out of bed. I passed several clots and when I actually miscarried there was instant relief. All the cramps went away immediately.

Not saying you had a miscarriage but that was what mine was like.
