Hormone fluctuations: The brown blood is old blood your uterus is shedding. Because of hormone fluctuations, menstrual cycles aren't always perfectly timed, so an occasional late period isn't worrisome. If you've had sex since your last period, and it's available, do a home pg test. If you're not pregnant, it's okay to take some Ibuprofen for cramps and wait a week or so for your period to come on its own.
