A member asked:

What could be the reason that my periods are always late, and when i do get my period it lasts for 2 days and then spot for 3 or more days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most likley: Your hormones are not regulated properly, you need to see a gyn for an exam , blood work and ultrasound, you periods can be regulated with the birth control pill, a low dose one, or other methods.
