Question:

i started my period a 10 days late. then it stopped after 2 days and started back the next day. am i pregnant and spotting or is something wrong with me?

Answer:

It can mean a lot of things. First off is to check whether you are pregnant or not. If not, infection, hormone imbalance or uterine issues like fibroids can also do it. I highly recommend that you to see your doctor for an evaluation.
