Specializes in Family Medicine

Old blood: This sounds like old blood which is normal considering your period was late. This doesn't mean anything specific and isn't necessarily a bad thing. Continue to track your periods. If you have had any recent changes to your medications, activity, stress or general health- it can cause irregularities in your period.
