What causes dark brown discharge?
Here is advice and input:
- Is it near the time of your menstrual cycle's beginning or end? Brown discharge around the time of one's period is normal. Spotting or discharge like this may have something to do with the shedding of the ueteran wall (I believe). Check with your OBGYN if you have further concerns and if it happens frequently. Also, if you are sexually active, try looking up Gonorrhea and see if you have any other symptoms of it. It probably isn't this, but it is worth looking into just in case.
- You should go to a clinic to get tested for a yeast infection, and if you are sexually active get check for STD's. You could go to Planned Parenthood or any other clinic.
- If it happens at the beginning/end of your period it may be a sign of hormonal imbalance. Hormonal imbalances can sometimes be fixed with birth control pills.

Can you get pregnant 15 days after your period?
yes While it's "possible" to become pregnant just about anytime during your cycle, your highest risk is about 14 days prior to the onset of menses. For instance, assuming a 28 day cycle and a 5 day period, if you started your period on day one and it ran for 5 days, the 15th day after your period would be day 20 in your 28 day cycle. The highest risk point in this example would be day 14, so you're a bit beyond the most critical point. However, considering variations in sperm viability, there's always a chance of becoming pregnant later in your cycle. That's the long answer...the short answer is: if you're concerned, take a pregnancy test and if any questions remain, consult a health care professional. Good luck.

How you can stop your menses for one month?
You cannot stop your period for a month, some people will tell you just keep taking birth control pills, however, this has proven to be dangerous to your health.
There are birth control pills specifically designed to stop your period for up to 3 months at a time. Some women stop menstruating completely while taking the pill.
There is no medical reason to have a period every month and it does not cause you any harm to suppress menstruation for one month, three months or indefinitely.

if you are just starting your period then this is totally normal, irregular periods at the start are to be expected. however if you have had a regular period for a very long time (i.e maybe 1 or 2 years) then maybe you should see a doctor but i doubt it is anything to worry about.

What does it mean if your period blood is bright red in colour and had little blood clots?
You are probably normal - blood becomes dull in color when it becomes deoxygenated, so bright blood simply means it has more oxygen in it. The little blood clots are also probably normal - your blood can clot any time after it is pushed out of the capillaries, and menstrual blood can get caught up in the tissue being shed and look clotted even when it isn't.
If you are really concerned, you can ask your OB/GYN or general practitioner (doctor). While this is a somewhat personal question that may be a bit embarrassing to you, your doctor has heard questions like this before and isn't going to be bothered - you'll get a good answer from him/her.
How do you stop your mestruation?
you can't really stop a menstrual period, unless you get pregnant, it would stop your period for 9 months (39-42 weeks).
to make your period a bit lighter, you can take birth control pills, but that's another explination also. it can make your period lighter and make it last for only a few days (2-3 days instead of average days, which is 4-8 days)
but oter than that, you cannot stop your period, it's a natural phase, you have to go throught it once a month, it isn't that bad.

Is it normal for your butt to hurt while having menstrual cramps?
It depends on what 'severe' might be. I worked on a pretty in depth survey on menstrual cramps and the majority of women had what could be considered 'severe' cramps. The pain was rated on a scale of 1 (mildest) to 10 (Worst), and the average rating was a 7. Personally, I consider a 7 to be severe pain and from all the information gained from the survey I'd say that it is normal to have severe cramps.
I do want add though that if your cramps are like a 10 all the time and so severe you can't function that you should see a doctor as there could be something else going on inside like endometriosis or something, so check it out if it's that bad.
When you are wearing a tampon do you feel as though you have to pee a lot?
No, you shouldn't feel like you need to urinate while wearing tampons. Tampons go far enough in the vagina so that there shouldn't be pressure on your urethra or bladder. Chances are if you feel like you need to urinate a lot it's because you're drinking more or maybe have a urinary tract infection.
Yes, that is one of the great things about tampons. They do not inhibit you in any way, you can do anything during your period that you can do when you're not on your period.
Swim away!
Is it normal to have your period for 14 days long?
The 'normal' cycle is 28 days from day 1 to day 1 of your period - give or take a day or two. If you're having periods much sooner than that - I suggest having a chat with your doctor, just to have a check up and put your mind at rest.
Is wearing tampons every menstrual cycle harmful?
No, it should not cause any harm at all. Make sure you get tampons that you find comfortable and easy to insert. Make sure you use the right ones for your flow and change it regularly. Also, try not to use a tampon all the time, for example it is generally better to use pads at night
