Im in my 42nd day in cycle, last two weeks or so with cramps and just yesterday i started spotting dark brown blood. im don't usually have normal cycles but what does the dark brown spotting mean? and why am i cramping but no period?

Late cycle: Likely your period will start shortly. You either ovulated late or not at all, but the dark brown blood and cramping usually means your period is getting ready to start.
