Hello my period has been weird lately. It started skipping all of a sudden. I know I was under alot of stress months ago from losing my job and then breaking my ankle and losing my job again and I was close to losing my house and car... So it came on August through October then it skipped and came on in February. It started off looking black\brown then it was normal flow color and now for almost a week when I wipe its brownish. I'm nervous, has this happened to anyone else?

    Hi. It is SUPER normal to have red blood at the beginning and middle of your period and then brown blood at the end. That just means that the blood has been sitting in the vagina for longer, which means it has undergone oxidation, making it brown. That is really normal. Unless it goes on for more than 3 days, don't worry about it. As far as skipping periods goes, you can skip periods as a result of stress. As long as you aren't pregnant and it regulates once you go back to an unstressful situation, you are probably fine. Do not ever hesitate to see your doctor, though.
