Question 1

hi doctor, i. no i ovulated  a week ago and this week i thought my period was about to start but a brown blood came then it became pink then brown aga?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 2

why was my blood so brown on the first day of my period?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Brown discharge is typically light bleeding.  Irregular bleeding/brown discharge is common in the first 3 months of birth control pills, and can also occur if you miss pills.  But, there are lots of causes of bleeding, including pregnancy, stds, other infections, polyps, or fibroids.  You should discuss with your doctor.

Question 3

my period lasted 2 days and i had a brownish blood. what is this from?

Accepted Answer

Brownish or darker: blood generally means that it is old(er) blood -- in your case meaning it may have stayed in your uterus a day or two longer than it should.  I don't know what the reason was, but darker blood means old(er) blood.  If this continues and you have discharge afterwards, cramping, vaginal itching then go get yourself tested for vaginal infection.  Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 4

am i on my period if i just barely bleed brown blood?

Accepted Answer

Likely yes: If the bleeding pattern is about monthly and you have other symptoms of a period like cramping, breast tenderness then likely this is a period.

Periods tend to be irregular in timing and amount in a woman's early years.

Question 5

why is my period blood brown?

Accepted Answer

Normal: 'old blood' , blood not bleeding fresh out of blood vessel, turns brown after exposure to air and certain chemical environments.  This is normal.

Question 6

why is my period blood always a nasty shadeof brown?

Accepted Answer

old blood: Blood turns red to brown to black as it ages outside of blood vessels. It is normal.

Question 7

why is my period blood brown when i start my period?

Accepted Answer

Old blood: Your uterus is evacuating it's lining as well as the blood that comes from the shedding process.  The blood has been collecting in the uterus and thus changes color - that's why it is brown and not bright red.

Question 8

why does my blood turn brown at the end of my period?

Accepted Answer

Older: Brown blood usually just means its older, this is really common towards the end of a period.

Question 9

why is my period blood dark brown, stopped after 4 hrs. is this a period?

Accepted Answer

Brown = blood : Brown equals old blood. If this is right after your period then you are just passing some of the blood that has been siting at the back of the vagina.If your periods are irregular see your doctor to discuss options for cycle regulation.

Question 10

i only had my period for one day it was light and it was kind of brownish blood?

Accepted Answer

Wait and see: A woman has several hundred periods in her lifetime and so some irregularity is acceptable. If your irregularity were to continue, i would recommend an evaluation but at this point, i would just wait and see.
