A member asked:

What does it mean even the beginning of my period the blood is dark, almost black & coming it in small clots?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably normal: When blood is less in amount, it can makes its way out as a brownsih, or perhaps darker, discharge. This is probably normal, but worth running by your doctor.
