A member asked:
Im on bcp since 1 1/2 years and my last period was very light and the blood was very brown almost black throughout but very light. ?

That is ok: Birth control pills often make periods short and light. This is a nice side effect. The color of menstrual blood does not mean much. It reflects the level of oxidation meaning how old the blood is. Blood will go from red to brown to black.
