Three weeks ago, I got my period and it was unusually light.. I usually start very heavy, lots of cramps, etc. But this time, there was no pain and not all too much blood.
Halfway through the week the blood started congealing and becoming brown early.. I thought it was just an unusually light period.
It's three weeks later now and ever since one week after my period started, the blood has been becoming blacker and coming out very, VERY little at a time. Now it either comes out in flecks of brown, is relatively fresh and looks like small drops of blood a few hours old, or significantly resembles tar and is very sticky.
I'm still a teenager and my friends say it could be my hormones going crazy, but after three weeks of it I'm becoming wary and want to know if I should go get it checked out.

EDIT::
It seems that today the blood has started becoming red again... is this a real problem as well or am I just starting my period early? I have had it twice in one month before due to stress.

hmm, thats a lot of detail there.(just kiddin) but really a friend of mine had a condition like that. She had it checked and she has ovarian cyst.
So my word of advice to you is.... "HAVE IT CHECKED"
Good luck

#1 your body is still adjusting to the hormonal changes as well as physical changes and it will continue to for a few years down the raod so irregular periods common for teen girls, its likely that you will bleed in between periods sometimes.
#2 the brownish sticky stuff is most likely the shedding of your uterine wall which is common with every period...Between the time you ovulate and the time your period comes your body gets ready for the fertilization of the egg that is released and your uterine wall gets itself ready for an egg to implant its self there....well when there is no implantation at the time of your period then your hormones crash and your uterine wall sloughs off as well. That's what comes with your period and that is probably what you are seeing.

Yes, go see a Gyn. It's not normal for you to be bleeding like that for three weeks straight.

This definately doesn't sound normal, go to your GYN and get checked.
