period
last march 14-16, i had an unusual period that it lasts for three days, this is my first time ever. apparently, i had unprotected sex days before and during my period. My bleeding stopped then i had a week spotting (brown-pinkinsh-brown) then i had unprotected sex on march 23. Then the night of march 27, i had a red light spotting (bright pink-brown) that lasted march 30. All these cramps was associated with a light cramps and episode of frequent urinating, lightheaded, dizzy, nausea.
Brown blood is old blood that did not come out in your regular menstrual cycle Ive had the same thing happen to me and thats what doctors have told me I just had to start having regular bright red not brown or maroon or dark cycles. I hate it but if you can take met or provera it might help. What helps me the most is low carb and yoga or provera or better yet clomid (35 day cycles) or the best femara (28 day cycles) im on my second month hope it stays this way.
I missed my period last May but I actually got a irregular menstrual cycle. Then my period came from 1 of June till the 5th of the month. Last 29th of the same month i got this brown blood that coming out till today. I was curious why is my blood is brown instead of red. Is it possible that I'm pregnant or something else? Pls. help me.
It does sound like the early starts of your periods coming on. Brown discharge is menstrual fluid that has stayed in the uterus for a little while before coming out. A lot of women who have regular periods have brown on their first day and then red after that, but a lot of girls just beginning their periods have couple of months of just some light discharge that is brown, only. You're on track.
Okay so I'm about 4 days on my period cycle. and its only been brown? i understand that its normal to be getting brown in the beginning when its starting or at the end when its ending, but its been brown the entire time????
I am sexually active. No birthcontrol. Only condoms. Idk if its old blood from my last period. but Im a very heavy bleeder my first 3 days in my period.
i get REALLY dark blood sometimes too.. they say dark brown blood is "old" blood, and bright red blood is fresh... so it's probably just old blood.. i think you're fine and dont stress about it.
I've had a very irregular period this month. My period is usually very very heavy for the most part (I go through a lot of super plus tampons), especially at the very beginning. It is right on schedule, but there's barely any blood and it's brown. When I had my last period, it was normal but then I started spotting a week after. It then stopped until my period was due again. I have recently started taking a low dose anti-depressant.
Hi and thanks for using the forum.
It is not uncommon to have an "off" period every once in a while. A lot of factors can affect your menstrual cycle including stress, weight loss/gain, change in diet, change in exercise routine, thyroid problem, etc. It is a good idea to follow up with your doctor and make sure that everything is OK. IF you are trying to conceive, you want to make sure that you are actually ovulating. Your doctor can do blood work to check and see if you are.
If I understand correctly, you have had three fairly normal periods since the cyst was removed but this latest one was preceded by some brown discharge and then a very short bleed 2 days later. The brown discharge is likely just some old blood that did not get shed with your prior period. This is not unusual. And I wouldn't worry that you didn't get a full period.
I don't just want the simple answer of "go to the doctor". I'm doing that next week. But I want others perspectives on this. My last 'real' period was the beginning of December 2008. Since i was 12 years old (I'm now 2 months shy of my 19th birthday) my periods have always been regular. After December, I didn't get my period until the middle of January, if you can even call it that. for 3-4 days I had brown discharge as if I was getting off my period.
Currently concerned with the symptoms I've been experiencing with my womanhood.
For the last few months I've been experiencing frequent menstrual cycles, and when I say menstrual cycles, I do not mean "normal". They are irregular, and in the last month I feel like I have had four small (3-5 days) periods but it is extremely light but the blood is very drown brown and thick.
The 18 I started spotting again and a few hours later I started bleeding. It is very very light, no clots, no cramps, no menstrual symptoms at all. The bleeding ended yesterday(the 20) & i now have brown spotting again. I also took an HPT yesterday morning & it was BFN. However I have not had sex in the month of June. My periods are irregular (the always come around the "20th" of each month, but they vary. One month I'll start on the 20, the next will be the 26 or 28.
