amount, that to stopped until today 9th
feb 2008 where it is comin considerablely

A late or delayed menstrual period could
indicate either cycle irregularity or a
pregnancy compromised by possible
miscarriage. Only a pregnancy test can
solve the dilemma. If the test is negative
as in your case, there is no pregnancy but
you are probably experiencing cycle
irregularity. Various disturbances in the
axis of the hormonal system of the
hypothalamus-pituitary-ovaries can cause
cycle irregularities that usually manifest
with lack of ovulation, a delayed
menstrual period or spotting. These
delayed periods usually differ from real
periods. If the bleeding is severe or
lasts for more than 7 days, you can
consult your gynecologist. Organic reasons
for irregular periods such as tumors or
infections should also be considered by
the gynecologist. It is not too likely
that sex has anything to do with this
bleeding.
