A member asked:
I have some brown instead of blood during my period for one week?

Timing? : If its at the regular time then it's just a weird cycle. If its at the wrong time then it's just breakthrough bleeding. If it continues the next few cycles then see your doctor. Brown just means old blood.

Old blood: That's usually a sign of old blood, which is common and not dangerous.
