A member asked:

My period was 5 days late and only lasted 2 days. i took a pregnancy test which came back negative. what could be the reason ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor.
