I have never done this before, but I'm hoping someone might have an idea of what's going on. My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for a few months now. This month my period was 4 days late. I had bad cramps for 4 days before it finally did start. It was extremely light and bright red the first day, the second day it was heavier but by 4 pm the second night, the bright red stopped and now there is nothing but old brown blood. This is just something that I have never experienced before. My stomach just feels sick, not really from cramps, but it just hurts.
