I'm 20yrs old and I don't get my period normally o might get it 2 times a year maybe or not but on July 2011 my period came dark brown close to black after that I went to the doctor got check and everything was fine ni problem nothing at all no stds nothing nothing ( thanks god ) well I had my period about 2 1/2 weeks then later on September it came as well but it was just a spot not for long maybe just half of the day... & now 2012 my period came and is like last year dark brown almost black I have no pain no smell the texture is like when the lotion get cold after it melts... I really don't know how to explain it... But like I say no smell nothing at all... But why is dark brown almost black?
