Ok, so almost a week ago I started to have this brown discharge, really gross, it looked like what you get after a period is over, like dried blood. Then after a couple of days I started to bleed, and it was fairly heavy, but no clots and no cramps whatsoever (and I always get cramps AND clots) and another thing is I was a week early starting! I was supposed to start today, the 27. I started on the 22. It just doesn't feel normal. And after about 9 years of having periods (I'm 20) your body pretty much knows what to expect, but this is just weird...help if you can!

Your cycles will change throughout your life. I can tell you, my cycles are no where like they were when I started (at 11, I'm 32), heck, they are no where near what they were 3 years ago.

The brown discharge is usually old blood, completely normal. If it were me, I'd play it by ear the next couple of months and monitor them. If you still feel that something is out of wack, go to the Dr. How have your previous paps been?

Yeah. I was thinking it was just something like stress that made it come so early, but I just wanted some opinions cause it's never happened to me before lol. Plus I've never had the brown discharge come BEFORE the period so that was odd.

Everything has always looked good! I'm definitely due for one though, my periods are usually pretty on schedual, guess this month was just an off one!
