period question.

[kaykay2k13]

This is myfirstperiod after a miscarriage.  I started on the 4th, it started out like a brown watery color, then it got heavier and I start passing some clots and it turned bright red and stayed that way until yesterday.  Then it slowed way down and it's brown again.  But when I wipe it just looks like it may have some red in it but looks mostly very dark/Brown color.  And also since I've started my period I've had this feeling of always having to go to the bathroom(#2) but when I try I don't always go, but when I do i have diarrhea, and I get nauseous a lot and can't eat like normal.  This only started when I started my period and I've never experienced this with any of the periods I've ever had.  Could this be a normal period thing?  Is the brown to red back to brown bleeding normal as well?

I would say its fairly normal. My periods were what youd think a "normal" period would look like, after my mis-carriage (about a year and a half ago) and every period since then has been a day or two it would be "normal" with very small clots, and then the rest would be dark, almost black. I was told it's just old blood and your body just reacts differently because you had an embryo growing, vs someone who has never had those hormonal effects. I would look into it if your periods become unbearably painful and heavy clotting

IM so sorry for your loss. As for the bathroom issue, im not sure but as for the blood that is completely normal. when I miscarried it was the dark brown which is "old blood, from miscarriage" and then the fresh blood would come and then darken back to the dark reddish brown as period is starting to end.
