AF came around 12 today and it is really weird. i have never bled like this..!!! sorry if this is TMI but i need to know if this is bad. an hour later at 1pm i changed my tampon...and the blood on it was so dark that it looked black and when i peed the blood was very, very dark almost black as well. since 12 i have changed my tampon 3 times. what could be wrong????...should i worry??

mine is always red or really dark red/black.  I have never seen pink! lol

If you're not pregnant and bleeding red, that's natural. Nothing to worry about. Now if it's excessive and contintues longer than a period you might call your Dr.

WHY should i worry if it turns red??????

[motherofan18month]

with my son i tested almost 3 weeks before AF was due and i never got my AF so i really dont know what implantion bleeding looks like or how heavy it is besides what i have heard......maybe i should test in a week or two just to be on the safe side.

I'm no Dr, but in my 23 years personal experience with AF, I have never bled nothing but red, maybe pink. Black AF just seems strange to me and the one time it was brown, turned out I was pregnant and it wasn't AF.

and that would cause the heavy dark blood and for AF to show early???

It could possbily be that your body doulbe ovulated.. meaning tha you released 2 eggs instead of one.....

in jan. i had 2 BFP's and then got 2 BFN's.....AF was almost 2 weeks early in Feb. and when i started today it was 1 week and 2 days early!

I agree... Kelly is an RN so I take any advice she gives me to heart... LOL... She's helped me through a lot of stuff... Black or brown tinged blood is indeed old blood. And sometimes if for some reason your body skips a period and then when you get it, it's really extremely heavy your making up for it by bleedin like  a stuck pig! LOL....... I wouldn't worry to much about it unless the blood turns red and your loosing large amounts....

My last period was pretty heavy too.....Blackish blood is old blood so at least it's not an active bleed.....My last period was HEAVY for 2 days...like I HAD to change my tampon at least every 2 hours or I was in trouble....by day 3 it was somewhat normal...ended up lasting 6 days...I had a D&C in Dec. and think that things are still adjusting themselves......What different has gone in with over the past few months that may affect it???? Was AF late at all?
