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?

Hi ladies,

I am  literally on my first day of my period and this is the x number of periods with black blood and only patches of light red in between, have been having this for hte last months. yes it is smelly, thick and nasty all together.

A few ides in my head: my body needs a total detox! secondly i am on the pill-Cilest whick ingredients are not well balanced for my body.

I am blotted, moody on a regular bases and eat like a horse. i will be consulting and endocrinologist  as i am as worried as many of you are. if you have any finding plse let me know, i will post what i find out soon.

About this...I've been bleeding this black blood for about several months now. At first, when I first got my period, everything was working periodically (You know...when you exactly when you're Period is going to happen?) But then, it started skipping months (yes, plural) and now I have no idea when it's going to come. I'm not sexually involved with anyone so 'that' idea is out of the picture. And sometimes (if not often) I'll bleed out 'black' or 'dark brown' gunk without me being on my period (or w/o any cramps as well signifying this IS my period/ and this only last about a couple of days) And lastly, when I AM on my period, the blood is black and or very very dark red. =/
I'm only a teenager. :( I'm not even an adult yet. :(((((((((

This is really gross I've been like bleeding black blood, I mean it started as a normal period then it started changing colors and I'm not really sure what to do. Some people are telling me to go to the doctor but other are telling me that is Just old blood. It been happen now for almost three months is that normal or should i have that checked out?

I have this problem also, I am spotting black thick gross blood. This is around the time I was supposed to get my period. So I am guessing I am having a strange period of just old blood or something. About a month ago I started have left abdominal pain, like right near my hip. I was worried I had a urinary tract infection or something. I am so annoyed going to the doctor.

Because a couple of years ago... I went back and forth between a serious yeast infection and bacteria vaginosis. They would give me medication for the yeast infection and then the bacteria would come back and then they would give me antibiotics and then I would have to come back for the medication for that. I got so frustrated that I just stopped going to the doctor and I ended up having to shower three times a day, take sugar out of my diet, and ocassionally buy the Miconazole Nitrate 7 day cream.

So ... it's been two years later and I start having that pain in my left side of my abdomen and I start bleeding black blood. It's very strange. Oh, and my abdominal cramps before and after I menstruate are the worst! Until I started drinking a tbsp of Molasses everyday. It tastes gross after a while but it works for my abdominal pain. Try it!!  It can't hurt anything.

But I still can't figure out why I am bleeding black blood. And the blood flow is really light too. I usually have REALLY heavy flow periods.
