A member asked:

What does is mean when your 3 days late and have a light period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe nothing: Periods aren't always perfectly on time, and the amount of flow may vary. Early pregnancy or pregnancy loss are also options- always easy to do a pregnancy test. If you are otherwise healthy and well, and your next cycle is back to normal, one weird cycle is not very worrisome.
