    I don't know what to say about your periods being brown and not red. That is odd 

    I would talk to your doctor about this and see what they think. 

    If you get sick before your period you said you get migranes do you get nauseated to you stomach before your period. 

    I know when i had a little one two weeks ago i felt really nauseated sick to my stomach and then i had the diarrhea and then a little bit of bleeding that made me sick for a couple of days with my left side really hurting badly 

    I would talk to your doctor about the concern about the color of your period 

    Try not to worry

      Hi there. I'm not worried, what I'm getting, the brown  discharge is what I normally get towards the end of my Normal periods. However my last 2 periods, and now the one I'm on now I'm greeting brown discharge at the begging of the last 2-3 periods with either very little bleeding towards the end of a period? I was just wondering if this is normal ? Is this peri? It's a dark colour? It doesnt smell or any pain.

      Then you could be starting perimenopause because mine started when i was 46 i am 47 now and still have symptoms like the fast heart rate, the anxieties, the tiredness, the acid reflux, the moods and then being hot and then cold and not sleeping to good at times, 

      Its been crazy then having little bit of bleeding and cramping

      IT is because it seems like my acid reflux is worse and so are my anxieties 

      Had anxieties all day Wednesday heart rate up at a 117 and anxieties all day Thursday and Friday my heart rate at a 112 anxieties yesterday when coming back upstairs from the laundry room almost went into a panic mode also felt my heart racing and then the tiredness and not sleeping well and the cramping and stomach issues

      I'm just waiting it out i am not taking any HRTs after the bleeding i went through plus it messes up my diabetes, my blood pressure and my hypothyroidism. All i am taking is paxil and ativan for anxieties and depression 

      This well end and we well calm down evenually but it takes time for our bodies to adjust we just have to give it time

    I'm a good 4 years into peri and my bleeds are often brown at the beginning and the end and can be lighter than when they were' normal' Mine are more erratic now than they used to be. I'm not concerned.

    Brown blood is just old blood that takes a while to leave the body. I've had a couple of periods like that, I dont worry about then. Feeling sick is really common with hormone fluctuations.

    Who knows when peri will end for any of us, we're all different that's what makes it so frustrating.

    Just got to make the most of life and go with the flow.
