This may: and probably is a normal variation HOWEVER you may be anemic so I suggest you see your Primary Care Provider for a blood test.... the color may represent"old blood" or you may be having "an-ovulatory" (NO EGG RELEASE) periods..so if the blood tests are OK check with your GYN! Hope this helps Dr Z
