Hey ladies, I know this is a bit TMI but Im lost on whats going on. I've been having brown/dark brown discharge for the past couple of days when I wipe. Sometimes it will be pinkish red. My tampon looks almost black. Is this normal?

Question

Answer

It could be dry blood or old blood

Answer

As far as the tampon goes, you are leaving it in too long for your flow. Blood should never reach the string. Everyone's flow is different so alot of times the 12 hour thing isn't necessarily accurate. Now for the dark blood, it is just old blood.  I have it too alot of times when I start my period, usually just the firt day. That's when its heaviest for me.  It is nothing to worry about. It also tends to happen to me when my period is a few days late. Sometimes you can be on your period but not bleeding down there yet so when it does start,  the blood has already been turned into liquid and it sits there until you start bleeding down there.  Hope this helped!

Answer

This just looks like the end of a period
