A member asked:
I have been getting dark brown clumpy stringy periods. i'll see small brown pieces in the toilet. no pain or cramps. i've been on the pill for 10 yrs.

Probably normal: Periods tend to get lighter when you have been on the pill for a while, and blood tends to clot or congeal and turns dark brown if it exposed to air very long. Hence a little slow bleeding will tend to look dark and "clumpy". See your doctor if you continue to be concerned.
