A member asked:
Not on hormones or bcps. period has been dark brown throughout whole cycle each month for a long time now. is this abnormal? what can i do about it?

You don't : Necessarily need to do anything about darker, brown menstrual blood during your period. That usually means that the blood is older. However, if what you meant by "whole cycle" is that you are bleeding all month long then i would see your gynecologist. Take care.
