A member asked:
I started my period a couple of days ago but its brown gooey and lumpy am i ok ? should i be concernd

Probably normal: It is not unusual for periods to be irregular now and then, especially during times of stress, or illness, or diet change, or when on antibiotics. If you are not having pain, fever, or a bad odor, it is probably nothing to worry about. If you are sexually active, you may want to check a pregnancy test, though.
