Likely normal: Mid-cycle spotting is not uncommon. Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD. Consult this site for more information on this topic. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/menstruation/conditioninfo/Pages/causes.aspx Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Period: The color of menstrual blood is usually not of clinical significance. Brown blood is older blood being cleaned from the uterus. Hormonal imbalance can cause menstrual irregularities. If 3 cycles are off would recommend gynecological assessment.
