Delayed periods
Last period started on 19/20 September. I took my last Krimson 35 tablet(for pcod) on 15 October, after missing one tablet on 5 October and took tabs at different times. I had sexual intimate contact on 5–6 October without proper vaginal penetration. Since 20 October I have very little spotting. I took a pregnancy test on 22 October, but the result is unclear. The single line is above C and not at C. Please see the image.

Missing one dose of your PCOD tablet and taking the rest at different times is a very common reason for a delayed period with light spotting, since it disrupts your hormone pattern for that cycle. A faint, unclear line that sits oddly compared to the C line usually means the test result isn't reliable yet, not a clear positive.
Next Steps
Repeat the urine test after 2 to 3 days using first morning urine, or get a blood beta-hCG test done for a clear answer either way. Keep taking your current tablet as usual unless your gynaecologist advises otherwise.
Health Tips
Please see a gynaecologist soon to confirm the result and review your pill schedule. Go in sooner if spotting turns into heavier bleeding or you get pelvic pain.
