For the past 5monhts my period has been changing from date to date. One month it will come on the 8th the next on the 28th. That never worried me a lot but the past two months I have been getting really dark blood before my natural flow of my period. I am even getting brown spots a few days before hand. I really don't know what this means and would like some help is there any one that may be able to advise me I would really appreciate this.

The really dark and brown looking blood is old blood. There is nothing to worry about there :)

As far as your period fluctuating, I would like to know, how old are you? And are you taking any kind of medication, including birth control?

I am getting really worried I have never really experienced something like this before and just want to know what the cause of it is. I should be on my period by now but all I am getting is dark brown blood. I am 21

Also I am not taking anything I was planning to go back on the pill just to regulate my period but at the moment my period still hasn't come so I have been able to take it. The only thing I have taken in the last 5days is antibiotics

Some antibiotics can throw off your period a little. The really dark brown blood just means it is really old blood. There really isn't anything to worry about. :)

I really am gratful for you taking the time to reply to my question. I was worried cause my period usually comes around the 11th but all I have been getting is old blood. And I have never had it before. Is there any reason this could happen or is it just usual

[nauticalstar420]

It is more normal than some people think. Its just the color that the blood turns while sitting in your uterus waiting for your next period. I'm happy I could help you :)
