A member asked:
When my period came on last month, it didn't start off bright red and heavy as usual, it was lighter and more of a deep dark red/brown.its still on?

That's ok : The color of menstrual blood is not particularly important or clinically useful. The fact that it came on time is a good sign things are ok. Monitor your menstrual cycle's over the next few months and see if they return to normal
