Menstruation
Menstruation is the routine discharge, or release, of blood and mucosal tissue from the uterus. This process occurs about once a month from the time a female reaches puberty until menopause. During pregnancy, the monthly menstrual cycle is absent while the womb nourishes the growing fetus.

My period lasts for 3 days usually how do you calculate my fertile days?
ok to really answer this you need to know what your cycle is, whether it is 28 days or 30, 32, 35 anything like that, if it is 28 days the most common cycle, than it is 14 days after the first of your last period, or 14 days before the start of your expected period, if it is a 30, 32 days cycle any thing like that it is half way after the first day of your last period, and that day is where you are ovulating, 3 to 4 days before and after you are ovulating you are fertile, which means that you cuold posibly conceive on those days or your vagina has the best conditions for sperm to live until it can fertalize the egg when you ovulate, hope this is what you meant

What does it mean if you have dark red blood clots while on your period?
This is a normal part of menstruation so nothing to worry about.
During menstruation it's not just blood that you loose but the uterine tissue, most of this will just be cells in the blood but larger pieces of the uterine lining can be shed on heavier days - these can be mistaken for blood clots, they will look like pieces of raw liver.
Menstrual blood doesn't really clot like normal blood, if it did it'd be detrimental to the whole process, but you can sometimes see smaller clots. You can also see bloody mucus sometimes too, the opening to your cervix is normally blocked-up with mucus to prevent anything harmful getting through to the uterus (it changes around ovulation to allow sperm through), during menstruation some of this mucus can come out with the blood. Plus you still get discharge too.
Brown discharge and late period?

Can a girl get pregnant 5 days after her period?
She can conceive 5 days after her period, yes - in theory this would be one of the most fertile days of her cycle. During the typical 28 day cycle a woman would ovulate around day 14 and be fertile from day 7, thus 5 days after her period she may conceive and in turn fall pregnant.
No, it absolutely is not. You do not get two periods a month, so you must be bleeding for another reason and you need to go to the doctor's office tomorrow, whether you have an appointment or not. One of them will see you, I guarantee.

Regardless of where you were in your cycle when you took your first birth control pill, you should start the next pack the day after you take the last pill of the prior pack. You take one pill per day, regardless of bleeding, on schedule.
What does brown blood mean if youre on your period?
Brown blood is just blood that has taken time to leave your vagina so turned brown and mixed with your discharge. Brown blood doesn't mean anything other than that your flow is light so taking time to leave your body. It's normal to see brown discharge at the start and at the end of your period.

It may also be benficial to you to change your birth control if this one isn't suitable for you. Please note this is advice only & should not be used in place of seeking your Doctors advice.

http://www.pregnancy.org/article.php?Sid=899
If you are on any kind of birth control this could happen, espicially if you just started taking birth control. If that is the case, your menstrual cycles should balance back out. If you are a teenager it could be just your hormones. They can very well be why your period is abnormal.
Is it normal to miss a period?
Yes, it is normal to miss a period every once in a while. if you miss it for over a month, i would take a pregnancy test, or talk to your doctor. if you miss them alot, then something is probably wrong with your menstruation system. Just make sure to stock up on tampons and have them with you at all times! hope this helped!
You don't ovulate on the last day or the day after the last day of your menstrual cycle.
The last day of your menstrual cycle is the day before your period - the first day of your period is day one of your menstrual cycle. Ovulation occurs two weeks before menstruation, if you had a 28 day cycle that would mean you would ovulate around day 14 of your menstrual cycle.
Unless you use fertility awareness method you can't tell when you are fertile or ovulating.

if you're pregnant, you WOULDN'T get your period, so don't worry about it
A woman can experience a range of different symptoms during her period.
Some periods can be 'heavy flow,' which means a lot more blood and lining is coming out over the course of the week. This is all relative to her normal cycle.
Some periods can be the opposite, not a lot of mess and fuss. Instead of wearing heavy duty pads, and/or normal pads (and tampons), she might just wear a combination of normal and light pads and pantiliners.
Many women on birth control pills experience lighter periods, but more often experience spotting throughout the month.
The first day of your period is the first day of 'true bleeding' which would be the first day you see red blood. You can see spotting like brown or pink discharge for a lot of reasons so you don't want to count that as your period if it turns out not to be. Although it doesn't matter that much anyway as it really doesn't have to be exact, just keep track of when you start roughly and you'll be fine.
