A member asked:

My average cycle is 25 days. i started having a light flow today but it's only day 17. is this normal? i'm not on birth control and i'm 34 years old

Hormonal flucuations: and multiple factors can account for irregular cycles. This can vary with age, stress, tension, anxiety or illness. I suggest keeping a menstrual diary and check with your GYN after 3 cycles: do not panic-this happens.
