Light Bleeding: More detail is needed. However, there is a concern about a possible pregnancy since you appear to be late getting your period. Your periods should be regular unless you are pregnant or you have a medical condition. Periods happen because there is a drop in hormones that causes a slough of a portion of the lining of the uterus. Consider going to obgyn ASAP for further eval.
