A member asked:
My period was 4 days late and when it came on it was much lighter than usual, about 1/3 the blood as usual, what could this mean?

Delayed ovulation: You might check a pregnancy test to make sure, but you probably had a delayed ovulation. It should correct itself the next cycle. If it continues to happen, you need to get checked.
