A member asked:
My period was three days late this month and it came on and it was spotting and it has been brown for almost the whole period why is it brown
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: The color of your period depends on how fast the flow is and how long the blood remains in the uterus before it flows out. Brown is normal, especially during a light period.
