no periods are not always red, they can be a very dark red/brown colour, it depends on the individual!
yep, happens 2 me all the time!
Some brown discharge is normal, it's just old blood nothing to get worried about. (Unless of course you know for a fact that you were pregnant, meaning a doctor told you that you were) Old blood looks brown instead of red and is common during periods, though it usually occurs at the end of the period.
Typically menstrual flow is red - because it's primarily blood, you may also see blackish coloured lumps which are pieces of the uterine lining. When your period first starts bleeding is light so it will look pink where blood mixes with discharge or brown where blood has gone brown due to it taking time to leave your body and mixing with discharge - your period may remain light like this throughout your first period, or as it gets heavier you may see more bleeding (red).
At the time there were very few coloured people in Europe.
Brown blood is just old blood. This is typically not a reason for concern, but if you have additional symptoms that are not normal for you, then you should contact your doctor.
It depends on your body. My last depo was due in Feb 08 and I didn't have it as my husband and I want to start a family. In April 08 I started having heavy, brown coloured bleeding which has gradually changed to heavy red blood. However I am having these heavy periods every two weeks and they last for 5 to 7 days each time. My GP says this will regulate itself but could take a year.
That the blood was supposed to come out some time ago, but that's completely normal.
Because it is a relief to the eyes after looking at red blood for extended periods of time.
No, you do not need to rest all the time during periods as you only lose about four tablespoons of blood in that time. However, if you are feeling tired or get cramps you can surely rest it out.
Brown simply means old blood. It's normal if your period is light.Blood that has mixed with discharge and taken time to leave your body can turn brown - just like blood from any other part of your body may go brown.
