Oct. 1-3 I got my period and the blood was brown not red like its supposed to be. Then in jan. 30-feb. 6 I got my period, and feb. 1st and 4th the blood was brown and would stop half way through the day then come back nomal (red blood). Now feb. 28th I started my beriod and I was clotting alot and then half way through the day blood was brown. Its now backto normal (red blood). I'm still clotting alot. I've also had bv(bacterial vaginosis) since nov. And have stopped antibiotics cuz they not working. Anyone have an idea of what this could be Confused

Hi holly

i have noticed sometimes at the start or end of my period the blood is a browny colour, I have never worried about it, seemed to me to be quite normal.
If you are worried about it then you should go and see your doctor to put your mind at rest.

All the best

It could be that you were pregnant and spotting and then you miscarried, or it could be normal. Anything is possible. If it is not completely normal, take a preg test.

It could be old stale blood coming away or like me you could have a cyst or cysts on your ovaries they dont usually have any symptoms and disappear on there own but brown blood is sometimes a sign, you should see your doctor just for peace of mind

My periods hardly ever have red blood. Ever since I went on the pill nine years ago anyway. It is almost always brown. So if you do not have any side effects or anything, then I wouldn't worry too much.
