If next cycle starts from 28 +/- 7 days from the first date of last menstrual cycle then it is considered a normal cycle. A delay of 10 days is not normal and may need evaluation.

I'm really confused because I've missed my period for two months now and I'm experiencing this black and brown discharge. I'm sexually active, but I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant since I haven't had any vomiting. What's going on here? Could I still be pregnant?
