unusual irregular period
I have this unusual irregular period. It's not those "I haven't started in 3 months" or "my period is always giving me worse cramps".
My situation is that my period is extremely light. So light it rarely ever discharges. And when it does only a few spots are present and that is it for the day. Then starts up sometime the next day. And like everyday after a few spots are present it stops for the rest of the day. And sometimes this brown substance appears and I have no idea what it is.
My usual period is heavy, and lasts 6 days. I've been on it for 6 years. It's usually regular but sometimes can be irregular.
What's the problem and/or what can I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
it could be because you're still young, most girls periods arent fully regulated till they're in their early twenties.
it could also be becasue of your diet. i can say from my experience that if i eat healthy i have a light quick period, and if i eat bad its heavy/normal and lasts longer.
if you're still not sure and want to make sure its not anything serious, i'd just check it out with your doctor.

I'm not sure from your question if you have experiencing extremely light periods, spotting or both so bear with me.
Spotting is perfectly normal, even as a regular occurrence
A light period is also nothing to panic over: what it most likely means is your body didn't ovulate that month.
You might not ovulate because of poor diet, stress, or lots of physical activity. You also might just have a lazy ovary. No biggie.
However, light periods could also be a symptom of something like an infection, a cyst or a polyp in your vagina, cervix or uterus and should be investigated by a doctor. As long as you aren't experiencing any pain, there is no need to rush to a doctor, but it is definitely something to bring up on your next visit.
But I can't know for sure, if this is really nagging at you, see a doctor. If you are experiencing any abnormal pain, see a doctor right away.
Oh, and I almost forgot. Brown or even blackish discharge is no reason to freak out. Blood turns brown and then black as it gets older and dies. All brown discharge means is that blood has been inside you longer then the freash stuff. So it makes perfect sense to have some brown discharge at the end of any period, light or heavy.
