A member asked:

Period due 2 weeks ago. instead have been spotting on and off. for last 10 days. pregnancy test negative. do i need to go to gp or is this normal for a female of my age?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Irregular timing: of ovulation, is most likely reason, delayed or absent ovulation will cause you to be late. Of course even late ovulation can achieve a pregnancy if intercourse occurred at at time close to ovulation. See your doctor for testing and treatment, to correct ovulation issues.
