Ladies! Why is my period darker than usual?!
Question: Ladies! Why is my period darker than usual?
Sorry, I know that's kind of gross!
Basically, I've just started on Cilest birth control (I was on it for about a year, had a break and I'm now back on it) I started my period for this month on Friday, but the blood seems to be very dark, almost brown! Usually, it's quite bright. What can have caused this? And do I have anything to worry about?
Thank you

Answers:
Don't worry, some months it may look different for example if you start your period a little later or something. It varies in colour from browns to bright reds.
It may due to your nutrient intake. Increases in iron or other minerals may have caused this. See your doctor about getting blood and urine test to make sure nothing is wrong for sure.
