That is totally natural. The blood is a brown color because of oxygen. When blood oxidizes it becomes that brown color. Nothing to worry about. :)

Im pretty much a first timer too. I started last month around the 18 and it was brown discharge lookin... but all my friends who got it told me it was suppose to be red. If it brown it could be just dried blood. But if you feel it looks nothing like blood like i did you may just have a light discharge as your first period. Im on my second one right now and it turned red.REALLY RED...so now i know i got it for sure. Well it is perfectly normal i asked a question like this about why its brown and stuff and they said dried blood or go see a doctor. I knew nothing was wrong. Well good luck.!!!

Yes it is totally normal. It can vary in color depending on what stage your in. The brown just mean it may not have all come out the last time around. No worries!

Yes, it will change again to bright red over the next day or so. It's what is known as "old" blood, hence the dark brownish appearance

I belive that is normal because when you first start there is so little that it doesnt come out right away and when blood sits it turns old and brown colored. Thats my thought

Is this your first period? If not and this is unusual for the beginning of your period and it persists through the second day, I would suggest setting up an appointment with an OB/GYN doctor. I would try to explain more but I found what looks like The Answer here from iVillage.com

Yeah it is just older blood. It's completely normal. It will eventually turn red

Yeah it's just the start/end blood. In the middle it tends to go more red.

Yes it is normal. It is just old blood. when you first start your 3-5 day cycle it starts out brownish then goes to a redishe. so your just fine and dont worry.
