Old blood = brown: It seems as though the bleeding you experienced might not be your period. It was later than usual and much less in amount. When blood sits for a small amount of time, it turns brown. You need to take a pregnancy test. If this is negative, then it is likely that ovulation was delayed or absent this month.
