A member asked:

Does it mean anything when you have been on your period for three days and the blood turns a brown color?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: As blood becomes lighter, it makes its way out as a brownish discharge. If this is markedly unusual for you, then you need to be evaluated by your doctor.
