Hi Maureen, You may have skipped ovulating this month, if so, your lining may not have developed properly. If this is the case, fixing this involves taking some form of progesterone, available from your health care provider, to get your hormones pattern back into sync. It may not be a bad idea to check a pregnancy test if you are sexually active. Although the flow may stop on it's own, it's not a great idea to wait it out much longer. Give your provider a call. Good luck and hope this helps, AA
