period 6 days late could I still be pregnant.

I ovulated on the 9th of Oct and my cycle should have came on the 22nd and it didn't come on. I have been having some pregnancy feelings but when I went to see my dr and took a test it was to early to detect in my urine. So i was excited bc I thought I could be pregnant. But 6 days later I started bleeding  for 3 days, but it wasn't heavy at all. Could I still be pregnant. Please help.

this does happen, but it's very uncommon. Most women will test positive when their periods are due or late by a few days.

I bled nearly the whole first trimester with my daughter, but my tests were showing positive before I ever started bleeding.

yes you still could be if your bleeding was different from your usual period, some women have a period like bleed because there isnt quite enough hcg to stop one, but enough hcg to keep the pregnancy viable, I would retest in a couple of days making sure you use first morning urine and good luck

If the test was negative an you bled shortly after, I'd say no. test again with first morning urine to be sure.
