is it okay....???

Question

last month i think i was on my period but i'm not really sure... reason being is b/c it wasn't red instead it was brown and it wasn't alot lk it usually is. it only lasted a week and i'm kinda scared about it for some reason.
any reasons why that has happened? or is it normal?

Answer 1

Brown blood is normal to have at the beginning and end of the period. Also, the amount of flow with a period can sometimes change from month to month. As for the number of days for the period the normal number of days for a period is from 3-7 days, a week is normal for some women.

I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.

Answer 2

This is normal. Brown blood is just blood that is a little old. Some women get it before their period or after their period or in the middle of a cycle. And some women will have periods that are just light and brown. It might mean that you had a cycle where you didn't ovulate, which is normal, or it could have occured because you had a cold or were stressed. This does sometime occur when a woman is pregnant, so if there is a chance you are, you might want to take a home pregnancy test. But really, it's nothing to worry about.

Answer 3

I hope so because it's happening to me right now. Only this is also my first month on birth control and I'm on antibiotics at the moment.

Answer 4

brown blood means old blood.....fibroids....it is a concern that you didn't bleed any red .....could you be pregnant? Check with a doctor. The first year though of periods this is common
