Usually nothing much: Nobody's perfect and no woman's menstrual cycle is perfect either. Just as your periods may not be exactly 28 days apart, the shedding of the lining of the uterus isn't always complete after the period. Some "spotting" can occur between cycles. However, if your next period is LATE and you are sexually active, I would recommend getting a pregnancy test....just in case.
