Endometrial shedding: Despite not having your period come on time, the endometrial lining of your uterus began shedding, causing brown streaks (hemolyzed blood) and red spotting (more fresh blood). If your periods continue to come >35 days apart, see your clinician for an evaluation. If u r sexually active consider hormonal contraception to regulate your periods while preventing an unintended pregnancy.
