Delayed Period & Mucus Discharge: Causes & What to Do


Question
I am 30 years old and my cycle is an average of 33 days. I have no children. I had my the first day of my previous period on July 22, 2005.  On August 26-27 I did not have a period but noticed clear, slimy mucus when I wiped.  It did not have an odor. I am now 8 days late.  I took a hpt yesterday and it was negative. Ideas?  

Answer
If you have a 33 day cycle and your last period started on July 22, you were due for your next period on August 23. If a pregnancy test yesterday was negative, you are probably not pregnant and merely have some hormonal imbalance this month. See if you get your period next month. If not, consult your gynecologist.
