I have had my period for about 4 or 5 months now and sometimes I get brown periods. Is this normal? Why is it brown?

Yes, it is normal for some of the blood to be brown at the start of the period (and it can come at the end of a period for some women as well). The brown colored blood is just an indicator of old blood. New blood is a brighter red color.

Brown blood is just old blood. It just means its light or that has been in your pad for awhile. And the average period lasts 3 to 7 days.

Have you just started menstating? It is common in the beginning for it to be slightly brown and as you get older, it will turn more red. It's just your body's way of adjusting to this new aspect of womanhood in my opinion! However if you are that concerned about it, call your doctor and definitely have a talk about it with your mom or another female figure that you trust! Good Luck! Kat

The blood contains iron, as you know. When it leaves the body, the cells die, the iron "rusts", and that is why it turns brown.
Quite normal
