One for the ladies..

I know there's a billion posts on this but I haven't found anything quite like this. I started my lady time and uhm... it's black? D ***

This can be a fairly common thing- often caused by old blood not expelled during last period or if you have irregular periods. If you aren't experiencing any other symptoms I wouldn't worry too much about it. I experience this all the time. But I'm not a doctor so it may be worth mentioning to your GP

That would have freaked me out. I realize it could be "old blood" but if it was me, I'd be calling the doc.

I suffer from severe bleeding and other related lady problems. I too would call my doctor. If it is "old blood", that needs to be addressed and prevented as it could lead to infection. So just to be safe....call you Dr. 

Take care

When I was on Yasmin, my periods were REALLY dark. No biggie, there is a range of normal. I guess it was just hormonal. My periods have been different almost every month since my surgery, easy, heavy, crampy, horrible, long, short...no real normal yet.  I guess a lot of things are happening in my body.   This particular month was awesome...terrible backache, gurgly stomach, diarhea, exhaustion, heavy flow...Just a treat!!!  My heating pad is better to snuggle with than any boyfriend :P. 

I have had so many problems down there over the years including pre-cancerous cells in my cervix that was causing a lot of bleeding and I never regularly got my period which was why the lining of the uterus built up I also have PCOS, but I had that too (really, really dark almost black blood) is it clots or is it unclotted? Either way, not good and I would contact a Gynocologist or your GP when you can, the sooner the better!
