Bleeding only brown during period

Hey again, I'm back with yet another question. Sorry if I annoy anyone for posting again, but I'm just wondering about something. My AF started on the 30th, but I only had a little bit of brown discharge the entire day that barely showed up when I wiped. However yesterday and today I've continued to bleed but it has only been brown blood the entire time, with some red blood thrown but not much. I've barely went through one tampon per day, sorry TMI. All of my periods have always been medium-heavy flow during the few day or so, and always needed at least 4 tampons a day...again TMI. Anyone know what could be causing this irregular bleeding? Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks again!

[ali1171988]

The brown blood is probably just old blood that didn't get out during your last period. Nothing to worry about besides a lot of women have brown or sometimes even black colored periods. If the lightness of the period worries you go get checked out just to be sure. But I wouldn't worry about the coloring. Good luck !

[lorriep]

Is there a possibility you might be pregnant?  If so, being
pregnant would effect your period length and how heavy it is.
You might consider taking a HPT if there is a possibility.
Good luck!

I had the same type of periods but mine were VERY PAINFUL. It was brown and light for several months, then there was a smell, and pain and then heavy bleeding- I had endometriosis.  The dr. said the brown "old" blood is sometimes a "sluffing" of endometrian tissue.  If this continues- especially if start having pain- see the dr. sooner rather than later- there is a lot that can be done to help!!!

[Jadegirl52]

I too have noticed that my periods are very light and only consist of brown blood.  my period use to last about 5 days and they were heavy and i never had brown periods.  Is this a sign of pregnancy?  i took multiple pregnancy tests about three months ago after having unprotected sex with my fiancee.  the tests were all negative and then i got my period so i assumed i wasn't pregnany.  please help!

I have been on birth control pills since the age of 15 and am now currently 33.  I switched to Lessina 28 tablet last year and have noticed that now my period only last 3 days and is a light brownish color and it's very very light.  Is this normal??

[RadiantMS]

A few times, during college and otherwise...I have had light, and spotty, brown-blood periods.  Two of those few times, I actually had a tampon "stuck" inside.  It could've been forgotten or a misapplication, but it was stuck none-the-less.  If things start getting an odor, definitely go to a doctor and have them check for a tampon.  I know it's gross, but.... they'll tell you, too,  it happens all the time!
Good Luck!

[BUD23]

i haven't even had sex yet and my period has been here for about 4 days, extremely light, and when ever a little does come out, it is really brown and when it gets on my pad or underwear, it turns black. I dont know whats going on, but since other people are having it, i know that its not just me. :\  Old period blood does sound like it could be right, but this is my second period like this.  

[merritkj]

I stopped my birth control for 3 months and was 2 weeks late on starting my period. I had a brown discharge about a week before my period around the 6th of June. Myperiod seemed really light in comparison to a normal period. It almost seemed spotty and started on like the 10th of june. I had sex for the first time on June 4th. I was wondering if this seemed like my period trying to adjust to not taking medicine or is it possible that i am pregnant. I also wanted to add that I have not started birth control yet and planned to start on Monday, june 15. I am obviously female and 20 years old.

[Eimear_]

Hello, im sixteen and my period is dark brown this has never happened before iv never had sex and use no birth control can someone tell me if this is noraml or does it mean im unhealthy

[Millye]

i was suppose to have my period last week, for 2 days i wore a pantyliner and nothing came. i noticed when i wiped i had a brown discharge. i took a hpt and it was negative, it's been over a week still no period.  should i be worried since i did have unprotected sex with my husband during ovulation?

[Dez1987]

My period was a day late and then I started spotting a pinkish/clear discharge (only when I wipe). so for two days i didn't wear a tampon. then the third day it was brownish with very light red, a few times. My period is usually heavy but this time it was extremely light, almost like it wasn't there. Then when I put a tampon on, a few red raindrop sized blood pieces were on it.  I went the third day wearing one tampon, and nothin was on it but the bownish stuff with the red drops. On the 4th day I didn't even sleep with a tampon on, and there was no leakage. On the 5th day, I saw a little red, but then it went back to the brownish stuff. On the last day, I counted my tampons and I only used about 6 tampons the entire time, all had nearly nothing on them but the pinkish/clear or brownish/red stuff. What's happening? Help me Out ladiez!

[chez0411]

I have been diagnosed with pcos, and no-one has really explained it to me properly. The doc gave me some pills and said that they would help. I have now been having some form of period for about 15 days. To start it was very light and would be there and gone agin within hours, but now its more like a regular period should beam any ideas?

[cinnimon25]

hi i a have a questio see on the first week of july i had a regular period and i also had a second period on july 19 untill the 24. i have been sexually active during those day. a week after on the fist week of August i get a period again but this time its brown. so my question is should i consider that as a period? b/c if i dn't consider that as a period than that means that i didn't ge a period at all this month or i have missed my period. i am very confused this has never happend to me before. i also have another question i have been feeling alot of cramping lately i am not sure if its b/c of ovulation, or implantation , or if i am pregnant. i have done 2 pregnancy test both times were negative but i have a feeling it was to early to get a test done. Help Please

[tausus0479]

does anyone have any answers to any of these questions with the brown blood instead of periods and not pregnant..and this light bleding brown cloured period goes on for weeks at a time..what the hell is it

[Aimee1973]

i am having the same issue, i had an miscarriage not too long ago tho and my periods jus havent been the same since that happened, also i've had an abortion in my past as well.  so anyway, i been having brown spotting for about a week, then yesterday i started a full blown period but its still a dark dark brown color all the way thru, its wiggin me out and if i go to the doctor i'll post back what they say...i cant be pregnant b/c i do not have unprotected sex but i do have a feeling it cld have something to do with all the trauma my body has been thru with the miscarriage and previous abortion in my past....i'll keep you posted as i find out what is goin on

[purpleessence]

When you're body has gone through a trauma such as a miscarriage, it takes a while for your periods to get back on track so it may still be from that. I don't think it has anything to do with the abortion unless it was within the last year or so. I know when i had my miscarriage they told me that my body may take around 6 months or more in order to get back to normal. The blood flow, discharge and how long it last may all vary too. hope this helps.

As for everyone else generally it is only old blood that's left over. This month i got all that for the first time and im on BC so it could be how BC reacts with everyones body. It's very rare to get spotting or any kind of blood flow if you're pregnant unless its very little which is normal, but if its a lot and you are indeed pregnant then you can be lossing it. The docs told me it's normal for women to have miscarriages and not even no bcus they think it's their period, and that its norm up to 3 times to have a miscarriage before a baby actually forms properly.

[daddysgirl1996]

heeelooo, i havee the same problem and i havent hade sex yett so i went to the doctor and he sed tht all it iss is dried period blood andd not to worry because everyone is diffrent x (:

[pksplc12]

The brown and black is nothing to worry about, it is just the uterus shedding its lining or extra blood from your last period. like when you break your toenail and it turns black from the dried blood. if you are experiencing pain beyond what you get from your normal period you should see a doctor to be sure

[anonymous1010]

okay i had my period when it was due and the first day was regular. it was red with really bad cramps then the next three days were a very very little amout of brown. the last day started with regular red blood but ended with brown spottings. i do have sex but it has always been protected. last month my period was late but regular blood came out . i know brown spotting is most likely implantation bleeding. is it possible its something else? i dont feel pregnant. the last time i had sex was about two months ago(a week before two periods ago) help!

[Hanna201]

I have had my period a week ago and finished after 3 full days, there was nothing until 5 days later when it came back browner and heavy, just heavy spotting tho. What could this be?

[brittanynoelle]

I had my period about 3 or 4 days ago, maybe it was spotting, but I doubt it, it was pretty heavy and went through a few tampons per day. After a few days, I guess I had my period? And it was extremely heavy like normal, I got it last night and now its about 5 pm(next day). I changed my tampon and its all brown and there is no sign of red blood or even pink whatsoever. What could this mean?

[sylvia_needs_help]

I am having the same thing I was supposed to get my period 2 1/2 weeks early. At first I only had a brown discharge now I have some light blood and still the brown  discharge. I had unprotected sex with my husband for the last two weeks. I don't know what's going on with me can anybody help.

[Callalilysmile]

My periods seem to be every 3 weeks at the minute and I can wear one sanitary towel/tampon and not need to change it all day (sorry, TMI) any blood that does come out always seems to be thick and brown rather than red as it used to be (TMI again). I am slightly underweight but this has never affected my periods before. Can anyone help?

[lost_in_time]

Im NOT sexualy active but im having a brown period with like one hour of small red dots but since this is my second period I don;t know if its just a thing that happens or that im sick help because i really need answers here.

[nicole137]

as we grow old many changes happens to our body specially for the female gender. the absence and delayed periods may or may not be a direct indication of being pregnant even if you got a positive result in home pregnancy test because there's a possibility to get a false positive result. just like what happened to me.i'm 25 and i'm married. and also, having almost all the pregnancy symptoms may actually not pregnancy or being pregnant but a serious hormonal disorder. so better check and see your doctor. i'm just giving an idea not the final answer to your questions.if you have an ovarian cyst like me you may experience nausea,vomiting pain in abdomen, sometimes back pain or cramps in your lower back. nauseous may sometimes cause of sinusitis. cyst is cause by our hormonal changes. gynecologist often prescribed pills to correct and lessen the pain for dysmenorrhea. so expect also for some changes if you stop using pills like shorter and lighter period sometimes it's brown in color. stress, extreme activities and taking your medication may also the cause of your delayed period.when i'm in the preparation of our wedding, i've got a lot of stress that causes me to have an in between of my periods bleeding.it's like i already had my period last week and then just after 5 days im bleeding. i thought i was pregnant that time and having an ectopic pregnancy or an early sign of miscarriage. my doctor didn't gave me any prescription she just gave a time to relax and my period were now in normal.additional info. there are some women whose pregnant but they didn't knew it not until she was in labor because there was no sign of being pregnant.

[Jennyslice]

I am going through the exact same situation. I have been to the doctor multiple timesand they say its stress, but I am in the best position in life I have ever been in. I have not had a regular period since I had a biopsy of the cervix in 2008. I have one to three per year and it is always the brown, old blood. Lasts anywhere from 2 days to 3 weeks. I want another child but it is not working. I wonder sometimes if there is scar tissue causing a blockage of some kind. I have no STD's as I have been tested for them so it is really freaking me out as to  why this is happening.+

[Harlie68]

I Just started my period and its brown with just a little red. i've never had a regular period because it varies on when in comes. it usually lasts 7 days with little to no pain. do i need to go to a doctor? help!

[prettytay]

After reading some of the other comments I kw I'm not the only one . I've had a period since age 10 I'm now 25  I have never bleed Brown. I just don't understand why. Is this something I should see a doctor for.

[BettyLyn]

[Xiomes]

Hello Everyone.

Just about a week about my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex. The next morning I took a plan B pill. It's been a week since. Today, I woke up with my period, but it's all brown blood. I shouldnt get my period for about another two weeks. Is this due to the Plan B pill, or can I be pregnant?

[Vlynn_]

Im having the same problem, I thought i was having my period but i still have swollen tender breasts and a lot of discharge and i have that feeling like im on my period.. Is this a sign of pregancy?

[shaggrugg]

The fact that I'm not the only one having this problem and no one seems to know the answer kind of worries me... I'm still a virgin - no chance that I'm pregnant, I've had my period for 4 years now, and my periods have never exactly been regular, they'll have they're regular times every now and then, but other than that not really. Then this week I started mine - after missing for two months - and it's just brown with some red here and there but it's light, like there is nothing there and I only had cramps once, which is weird because I always have gnarly cramps during my periods... I would appreciate it if someone would tell me what's up, because I don't have health insurance, or the money for a check up or anything, so all I have are you people to help me out.

[anal69]

hello nikki17
first of all, please stop sticking your hand inside your vagina, you are not going to find a pot of gold in there. and second of all... if you had unprotected sex, and you have not got your period yet, and your getting crampss.. YOUR ******* PREGGERS. good luck with your life xx

Sincerely, Allison Delorentez.

[chulme39]

Was sterilised 8 years ago, my periods have been regular as clock work until now. I am now getting brown blood for the past 2 weeks, which i suppose to have had a period. did a pregnancy test and came back negative.

[SKITTLESm]

I have brown blood like discharge but my period should be ending soon I ask my doctor he said its mostly to be old blood that did get out on your last period its nothing to worried about

[Maggie121]

I came to this site when I had only brown discharge rather than a period.  In fact, no site helped me understand what was happening.  I read about tampons being left in and pregnancy.  I went for 4 months with just brown discharge.  I finally went to the doctor scared out of my mind that I had cervical cancer or something really scary.  They diagnosed me with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).  This is essentially a hormone imbalance.  Your body produces too much testosterone which causes little beads of cysts on your ovaries preventing ovulation.  It can be controlled with the birth control pill.  It is not that serious, but something to modulate over time.  Key signs: hairiness (gross I know, but higher testosterone levels will cause unsightly hair),  brown discharge,  losing hair on your head, weight gain, and acne.  It is really common; most women who have it aren't diagnosed properly.  If you think you have PCOS, talk to your doctor about getting on the bill.  

[chocladie]

[Aerobicandrea]

You better get a pregnancy test, when I was pregnant with my first I had brown with some cramping and I was pregnant, they say spotting comes from implantation of the egg.

I'm   26 years old  and in the past 4 years  have had  4 miscarriages   2 of which were tubule   which resulted in the loss of my left tube.   and since then we have had a hard time getting pregnant    my period has always been irregular   but  this time my period is  bout a week late  and started to have brownish blood discharge  (which has never happened before)   and its not in the urine  so i dont think it is my period yet.  anyone know what this means?
