What Causes Dark Brown Bleeding During Periods?
I was supposed to start my period about 5 days ago but instead I am having very dark brown bleeding. I have not had any sex in my whole life and i am not on birth control. I started my period about a year ago. Any ideas on why I am not getting my period?

Hello,
Brown discharge is indicative of old blood. It is commonly seen during the premenstrual period. There is nothing to be worried about. You will start menstruating in a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
