My periods stopped last year for 4 months and I did a pregnancy test twice as well LOL.

Anyway I went to the docs and he said it was quite normal.

They stared again and all back to normal.

Hello!

This happens to me almost every month! I get brown spotting for days before my period actually comes. Some doctors say it is perfectly normal... Others say it might mean a slight shortage of progesterone, which is also not a big deal. I tend to believe that it is quite normal as I have had it for years and nothing bad has happened (touch wood!) :)

I would keep an eye on it and see how it goes...

When I was about 13 or 14 my period was a month late and I thought I was pregnant even though I didn't have sexual intercourse.

I still laugh at it now ^_^

My teddy last night was a paper bag, to keep my safe.

Hi.

The reason why you "miss" periods or are "late" is because you're either having anovulatory cycle, which is a cycle where ovulation doesn't occur. An anovulatory cycle may happen to you at any time due to a variety of factors: stress, exercise, weight changes, travel, illness, recent birth control use, etc. You will usually have spotting instead of a period, and if you do get a "period" it may be different and you many have another one sooner than usual afterwards because it is the real period and the one you had before was anovulatory. I hope this makes some sense. You can tell if this is what's happening by charting your cycles. It sure would save you a lot of money on pregnancy tests and worry as well to know exactly what was going on each day with your cycle.

The other thing it could be is that you may not ovulate at the "normal" time. Some women ovulate on day 7, some on day 40...it just depends on them and also it can vary from cycle to cycle depending on external as well as internal events. So what is spotting could be ovulatory spotting. If you are frequently "late" it means nothing more than not having ovulated at your "normal" time.

I hope this has helped. www.tcoyf.com has more on cycles and charting.

Sorry, I forgot to add that those of you who are "missing" periods aren't. It just means that your body isn't ovulating and you won't get another one until it does.

thanks for that kim but im on BCP so I usually get my full on flow bang on thursday or at the very latest friday morning.
I ended up getting it half an hour after i did the test!!
id been taking my pill in the evning instead of the morning so that explains the 12 hour delay!!

Whenever I have a bad episode of deprssion/anxiety my periods go awry. I thought I was starting the menopause this year but blood test confirmed I'm not. I'm also on the pill but the stress throws it out.

Love Jo xx

stress is a common factor in issues with periods!!!! It is extreamly common! also periods dont necisarilly be the same each month, some can be heavy and sometimes it can be rediculous. also another thing to consider is your body size, small women can have very irregular periods, especially if you are slim!! I hope this helps xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi, I'm not sure when u posted this msg, so sorry if this a really late reply. I'm actually in the same position as u, my last period was fine and i'm never late, my periods r always heavy but with no pains. I was due to come on, on the 10th of jan i didnt and now i'm five days late, all i've had is brown spotting (thats happened on two days) and this morning i had a light pink bit of spotting and this doesnt even last 5 mins. I also have cramps and my boobs r really sore. I'm not sure if i'm pregnant or if my period is misleading me!!
