weird period?

My period was 3 days late this week.  It is never late, I took a few hpt all were negative.  The first day it was heavy with many clots.  The second was lighter, still with larger clots, now the third day, today I am spotting.  I normally have 7 day periods and do not spot.  The last 3 months it has been fewer days and spotting.  I also took a nap today and woke up to a leaking breast.  Any ideas?  Could my progesterone level or pituitary gland have anything to do with it.  I have a history of low progesterone.

I would contact your Dr. and see if you can get in for an appointment, especially if you are experiencing "leaking breasts". Better to be checked.
Good Luck and keep us posted!

Leaking breasts could be a sign that your Prolactin levels are elevated.

And having a strange or otherwise abnormal flow (late or early) does not always signify pregnancy or miscarriage.

It sounds like a hormonal issue is going on- which I say based on my own experience with my own hormonal issues. You should get your hormones and thyroid checked if this continues to be a problem.
