Period 2 weeks late with cramps and spotting

9 replies

My period has always been very regular. My last period was really light, and this one is 2 weeks late, but I've had cramping and tiny bit of spotting on and off starting 1 week before I was due.

I'm 40 and don't know if this could be part of perimenopause or something more serious. Literally no chance of pregnancy, not been on any hormonal contraception for the last 20+ years, and not had any dietary, medication or any other changes recently.

I'm waiting for a GP phone appointment, but am freaking out, any ideas what it could be?

I did end up having a proper period 3 weeks late, then nothing for a week, I'm now on day 7 of spotting every day but going from pink to dark brown. Had a smear and that was clear, going for an ultrasound next week will update.

Thanks for the update, hope everything is OK, I'm 32, period is 24 days late, no positive pregnancy tests but definitely either pregnant or my period is coming because I have symptoms of both really, going to wait it out a bit longer x

I had my ultrasound and was all clear, apparently it's extremely common for women my age to have similar things occuring due to perimenopause.

@LaurenLove has yours arrived yet?
