A member asked:
My period was 4 days early and quit 4 days later then on the 5th day it started again brownish red? what is that?

Brown = old blood : The color of the blood in your menstrual cycle is not useful or relevant. It reflects how long the blood has been sitting inside your uterus or at the back of your vagina. Red is new. Brown or black blood is older and the blood products have started to break down. If your cycles are heavy or irregular consider birth control for regulation.
