A member asked:
Why does my period last 2 weeks but is really dark for the 2 week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Old blood: Given your age i suspect your Progesterone level is starting to drop meaning you are more likely to have longer periods. The lining of the uterus is less supported when the Progesterone is lower. So uou bleed longer. Blood that's been in the uterus for longer gets dark.
