hey kristina. this is kindof a personal question, that you might not know anything about, but if you do, id appreciate your help :) ok. i havent had my period in about a year, because i was taking that "depo" birth control shot. i only took it one time, and then decided i didnt like it. but the nurse told me that it's normal for girls to go long periods of time without havin their period, but mine should come back around may. well, it's march, and my period came back, but it's brown! the first day, it was normal, and red, and now its brown. is that normal? and how long b4 its red again?-thank you-crystal, and im 25

Hey :)

Every girl is different your body could be
changing or because you haven't gotten your period in a while that could be why you've got the brown instead of red blood last month i had the same thing happen i had brown instead of red but now iv'e got red blood back i think it should take a couple of days to return you'll probably get the red blood back when you least expect it be patient i'm sure it will return given time i wouldn't worry much yes it's normal it's happened to me if your concerned you could always make a appointment with your gynecologist just to be on the safe side they'll be able to give you a more knowledgeable answer :)

Hope i helped and reassured you!
