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 noticing some stringy brown discharge for about a week now whenever I wipe. My period's due on the 28th of May, and we're trying for a baby. Can you tell me what's going on with this?

You may be experiencing ovulation bleeding, which can sometimes occur when you are trying to conceive. It is usually nothing to worry about and can be a sign of fertility. However, if you are concerned, you can try taking folic acid supplements to support your fertility.

I'm really concerned because I had a family planning operation along with an abortion back on April 24th, 2018. Right after the procedure, I just had spotting and some stomach pain. But now, 13 days later, I'm experiencing bleeding. Is this something I should be worried about? What steps should I take to address this?

The bleeding 13 days post-family planning operation and abortion warrants immediate medical attention; possible complications include infection, retained products of conception, or hemorrhage; contact your surgeon or gynecologist,
