dark period.


Question Posted Sunday April 27 2008, 11:40 pm

My period hasn't be regular for more then two months at a time.
But this is my second regular month since I actually started having my period. Well that I can remember.
But my period is really dark this time.
I'm pretty positive it isn't healthy.
And mostly all week during it I have extremely painfull cramps.
I'm only on my second day this month tho, and I haven't had that bad of cramps, and It's pretty lite.
Anything would help.

You seem fine to me, to be honest. The colour isn't really a cause for concern, because it's pretty normal for it to be dark.
As you probably know, cramps are normal too. You might not get them every time, either.
It can take a few years for you period to become properly regular, as well.
So you don't really have anything to be worried for.
You should read up on it if it would help put your mind at ease.

Your period can be all sorts of colors. Anything from orangeish to black. Cramps are normal, as I'm sure you know. Try taking some aleve and use a heating pad. It really helps. I recommend getting those flat, sticky heating pads so you can wear one all day.

I'm assuming you're pretty young, and you have to face the fact that you're going to have irregular periods for awhile until your body is done growing.

I really don't see any cause for concern, but that's always up to you to decide. Why not make a doctor's appointment just to be safe? Perhaps you can ask for some type of birth control so you can control your cramps and make your periods more regular.
