Dark blood and irregular cycles Posted: 01-02-08 22:27pm
I just recently got my period, which it
was late, and noticed that my blood thick
and very dark. I've had irregular cycles
since ive gotten my period for the first
when i was 12 and now i am 20. I have had
thick dark blood before but that was
because i just got on birth control and it
was trying regulate. Ive been off birth
control for over 3 years now. I read up on
somethings online about it and i read that
sometimes irregular periods could mean
that im not ovulating. I hope thats not
the case with me. Anybody have any ideas?

I am irregular too, but I am certainly not
one to be suspected as not ovulating....I
never have any problems getting pregnant
lol.
You may also not ovulate (release an egg)
every time you have a cycle because of
several different reasons, and you do have
2 ovaries, so you could ovulate every
other month if one did not hold any more
eggs. It's hard to tell that's going on
unless you went to a specialist.
I don't think that thick dark blood is
anything to worry about either, especially
if you are a little later than usual.

You need to try and be active and move the
cycle thru your body, ever month is
different because of body chemisrty, diet
and as u get older it doesn't get any
better and blood gets darker, (aging), use
heat (heating pad)to help. so u need to
exerise moderately and eat smart be
active.
your body needs to do what it needs to
keep u healthy, and shedding as it is
knowen, helps the natural ral process,and
that is sometimes why you have sharp pains
and if you pay attentution in the
bathroom, you may even pass clots..And
thats normal
Irregular Periods can be du to stress to,
exercise ,
ect. Stay Warm and good luck all the best
