Hello again, Several things you probably already know...birth control--- not 100% Some of the symptoms mimic a miscarriage...I have found that most of the women I know had a period change around 30...Metabolism changes it...Another causation could be a thyroid issue...If you get a tsh blood test it will tell how your thyroid is releasing the different hormones as that can cause all you spoke of and more as well....GOD BLESS!!    loimmarmar

Also the brown has turned to black since yesterday and no odor or smell

I have had my periods since I was 14 and now 30. For 16 years they always come on the fourth Wed. and this happened six days prior on a Thursday and still continuing and has not stopped. I have been tired since last wk and my breast are tender.

The brown discharge is old blood, the cramping could be the travel of the egg down the tube, and the discharge comes out as a result of the traveling of the eggand the contractions that happen as the egg is pushed through...How many years have you had your period? As we age our periods change and as well It depends on how many woman you live with as SOMEHOW...periods of friends or others living close does affect our cycles as well as flow and duration....I wonder if your period would be regular if not on the pill...Just some thoughts  GOD BLESS!!   loimmarmar
