I'm have got a lot of brown, almost black, discharge stuff in my pad since yesterday. I'm 15 and haven't had a proper period yet. I googled it and it's apparently old blood- and yes, I think it is darkened blood. The question is why am I getting it when I have never had a period? Is there something wrong with me!?

Your hormones may be changing and you may starting into menses. You are correct that this is old blood. You may want to have your parents take you to see a gynecologist. You are of an age that you should have started your period. Your hormone levels may be low and this is why you have not had a cycle yet. It sounds like your body is trying to start your monthly cycle. If you are really concerned you should see a doctor.

Sound advice antigone. At 15 you should be having a period, even if it's irregular. If you are very underweight or over exercise, this can delay the start of your first period.

(Also sitting here jealous, wishing mine hadn't started until I was 15 lol.)
