A member asked:
Oct 19th&20th, i had small brown spotting, and then full-blown period on oct 21st. is it possible some women have brown spotting & others have red?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood is blood: Brown and red are both blood. The color does not matter. It simply reflects how long the blood has been there.
