A member asked:

Period 6 days late then i got brown spotting and it's lasted 6 days, negative hpt 2 days ago. wondering what is happening? i'm never late.

Menstrual: irregularities are not uncommon. Anovulatory cycles are one cause. You may wish to consult the site give below for more info.. You may wish to repeat the hpt, use first morning urine and follow the instructions in the test kit carefully. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/pages/causes.aspx
