A member asked:
Im on the pill and its been stopping my periods but i have came on my peirod last week and its really dark brown, is this something to worry about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Often that is from old blood which can look dark brown. I would not be concerned about changes in menstrual blood unless associated with other symptoms such as fever, odor, or abdominal pain....
