Is it a period?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi everyone, I'm 37 and up until now my periods have been the exact same every month and to the day. I was due on but it's not like a period, there's only brown when I wipe (tmi) and no use for sanitary products. Any help much appreciated .

    Did you ever figure out the cause of this or have your periods gone back to normal since? I am kind of having a similar experience. I am 32 and in November, my period was lighter than usual and my periods have always had a regular flow. But this period from november only lasted 2 days with not really much blood. It would be only in the mornings when i would first go to the bathroom that there would be enough blood to turn the water bloody but after that not much blood. So I am curious if you ever found out what was happening with yours.

    Brown means that the period is on a late cycle. Like every discharge in the human body, the period can become trapped, or late in discharge, and in turn changes colour because of latency.
