HELP ASAP!!!! SORRY if this is TMI...!!!!!

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??

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?

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....

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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

[loismwallace]

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.

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