A member asked:

I'm on day 5 of 7 of my menstrual and i wiped and it was brown blood on the toilet paper is that normal ?

Can be: Most likely this was old blood and segments of uterine lining being shed. Normally there should be no further spotting or staining after the next couple of days. If so, consult your gynecologist.
