A member asked:

Period 10 days late, cycles was only 6 days and 5 days later light spotting? what can this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anovulation: Delayed periods can often be related to the failure to ovulate in a particular cycle. This may be related to age, ovarian dysfunction approaching menopause, medications someone is taking, or an underlying hormonal issue caused by a medical condition like diabetes, Insulin resistance, obesity, or polycystic ovarian syndrome.
