To be or not to be: That is the question! if this period is atypical as you describe, then a pregnancy test is the first order of business. If it is negative then an anovulatory cycle is a possibility as a delayed menstrual cycle. Keep track of your cycles with a menstrual calendar just in case this pattern continues.

Improvement : Sounds like this period is a lot better and easier than your usual ones. I'd celebrate the positive change and hope it continues.
