A member asked:

I'm about a day late for my period. i'm not sexually active. i've noticed yellowish discharge instead of blood. what does this mean?

Hard to say: Sometimes your period can be a day or two late. This doesn't necessarily mean that anything is wrong. At the same time, infections can also cause irregular periods. Check this out with your doctor.
