A member asked:
My period came 3 days late. it is lighter than usual, and brown. could it be anovulatory cycle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
possibly: An anovulatory cycle is likely, although it might also mean early pregnancy bleeding/possible miscarriage. If your pregnancy test is negative, then it's likely an anovulatory cycle.
