A member asked:
I've been having dark brown bleeding at the beginning of my period for the 3 months, and it comes on 3 days early and goes off 3 days later than usual?

Brown = blood: Brown is just old blood. It is common for this to occur at the beginning and end of a menstrual cycle. If you want lighter or shorter periods there are many birth control options that can help with this
