A brown period?

[Natoja12]

Please help no one has answered and it beens like an hour.

About three months ago, maybe less not sure... I noticed a brown discharge on my undies that looked as if I had wiped my bum after pooing. But I was for sure it was coming from my vagina. It llasted like two or three days. Yesterday it started again. Is it my period and how many times will it be like this and not red?

Yes, this was your first period. :)
It will be this colour for a bit because it is other things mixed with your period. So as soon as your body starts getting periods once a month it should go to a red colour.
It's completely normal so don't worry.

I started mine last weekend and it was brown in my pants but when i put a pad on it was red until i left it for a while and it turned brown ;/

dont worry cuz its completely normal. my very first period was brown for like 6 days, but then the next month it was red. once your body gets used to having periods it'll be red.

Agreed, it's perfectly normal. :)

The blood looks brown because it's not very fresh. It's "dead" blood. If you've ever gotten blood on your clothes, you'll know that it tends to dry to a brownish or rusty color, and this is the same concept. It's likely that, even once your periods regulate, you'll have a little bit of this darker blood at the beginning and/or the end of your cycle. It's also not uncommon to "spot", or bleed a little in-between periods, which can be that color as well.

Normal. You may see that stuff everywhere, or nowhere, or only in certain spots among your period, but it's all there and it's all healthy. Just blood and gunk that needs to be out of there.

its just dried up or clotted blood, and its not harmful i get it the first couple days or the last couple days of my period, its your boy trying to get the last of whats in there

Its normal.Like when you have a period and there is a brown discharge it is probably dry blood thats how usually all of my periods are.Don't worry your fine.I was worried too.

I get that about a day before I get my period, its just a little excess blood that has clotted. Menstrual blood has no platelets so it stays red, but the brown may be normal discharge mixed with any blood that may have escaped or anything before your period.

It's perfectly normal, so don't worry or panic! :)

the blood stains to a brown in your clothes.
its dead blood cells.
it will go back and forth. red to brown to reddish brown.
or may be always red who knows everyone is different.
