Bleeding black blood

[slapgirl]

For the past two months, a week before I started my period, I started bleeding a light brown color.  When my period did start, I was bleeding black blood. I've also been having real bad abdomal pain upper and lower even when I'm not having my period.  I've been taking Ortho Novum for a year and my period has never been like this.  Could you please tell me the reason or what I have done that would cause this to happen?

I was reading every single comment from above, and some of them describe very well my symptoms also: cramping; bloating, irregular periods, abnormal stools, DARK and DRY menstrual blood, low flow and shorter periods, memory loss or lack of concentration,  back pain....well, I have them all for the last 12 months. I went and did some tests. My Gp doctor sent me to have an endoscopy due to excessive gas. They found that I have this bacteria =helicobacter pylori. Got the triple antibiotic course done, and then the Gp doctor send me to have an colonoscopy done. I got  good few samples/ biopsy taken and the results where perfect.( so they say)  I was told I sill need to do the antibiotic treatment once more because the bacteria is still present in my small intestine.....I went back to my Gp because I was still not happy, I still had all of the above. He gave me a form to complete the blood tests, he marked few and I marked down loads......they did the blood tests on me and they said all was fine, the Gp told me all is ok......,,then what? '' I said to him,  ,,what more can I do for you?, he asked ME, what can he do for me.........I asked him to give me a referral to a gynecologist  and I will do even more tests.......I am going nuts

Have you received. Diagnosis? Ladies, insist on a transnational ultrasound and if nothing is found, demand a CT! Trust me in this. All of your symptoms sound like my symptoms and let just say, my news isn't good news.

Did you get the diagnosis? I have the same symptoms and still trying to figure out what is wrong.

Hi guys,
I've read through most these posts & the majority seem confused, still looking for answers. I've read everything from cysts & cancer to old blood & pregnancy. But what really alarms me is the number of us who have black blood periods with no definitive answer as to WHY?! And some of our "symptoms" match but most are all different.
I recently turned 30. My daughter will be 5 this year & before being pregnant with her my period had a mind of it's own, never regular at all. But since her birth in 2009 I have had a regular 25 day cycle with every period starting between noon & 1 pm. I just started my period exactly (to the hour) one week late & it is black with what looks like red confetti. And the best way I can describe it, is 'dry looking'. I had cramps the entire missed week & painful urination rite after the bleeding started. I've taken multiple pregnancy tests, all negative. (I am not on birth control)
I don't know about you guys but I don't have the insurance coverage or money to just be going to the doctor, unless I'm dying.

I'm only 16 I don't know what's going on. I'm bleeding black clumped up blood. I wouldn't even call it a liquid anymore. And I get dizzy while on it and have very bad cramps and back pains. It also makes me sick like throwing up/diarrhea. What's wrong with me?

This is the exact same as me, hurts so much n don't have a clue what it is

it sounds like endometriosis that has spread to different parts of your body

Same thing with me, I am recently been diagnos with endomitriosis and all the symptoms are showing above what most of us been experiencing. My OB have put me into Medicine therapy by taking contracepive pills which i find it OK? because it does help my cramping subsides. while taking the pills I have been having black blood discharge constantly for a month then i went to consult my OB again, then she told me that my endomitriosis has spread out even more all the way to my colon. so the best way to ge rid of endomitriosis is to undergo for hysterectomy. So my advice as early as possible if you think that there's something wrong with your body consult your physician.
