Period Stopped After A Day?
Hey, I've seen your answer on another topic and I thought it was a good answer so I wonder if you can help me?
I got my period on friday and then on the saturday I was getting a very light flow, hardly anything.
My blood was brown and my period had completely stopped by saturday night.
I'm only 16 and I don't know whether this is normal. I've never heard of anything like it?
Thank you in advance!

Hey, glad you like my advice. Hopefully this measures up. =)
You sound pretty normal. I'm 21 - I sometimes have my period for two days, and I sometimes have it for eight. I'm on birth control, too. Bodies are weird, especially those with hormones raging through them.
Brown blood means it's the end of your period, the uterine lining trickling out, and all that. The brighter red the blood, the faster the flow, and the closer to oxygen. Brown is the color it changes to when it has some time to sit. Red is the color blood changes to when it's exposed to air.
If you're feeling weird, or you're really concerned, ask your doctor. He or she would be happy to answer any questions you have, I'm sure, if you want a professional opinion. (Mine is not professional, simply experience-based.)
Are you having any abnormal pain? Any nausea? Any strange marks down there, or anything? Did your period come too early, or too late? (Keep in mind that if you aren't on birth control, your period can be EXTREMELY irregular. The only reason to be concerned about that is if you're sexually active. If that's the case, I suggest a pregnancy test just in case, because it's better to be safe than sorry.)
If none of these are true, then I'd bet good money that you're fine. You're just suffering from a condition called Adolescence. =P
In layman's terms, you're sixteen. Chances are things won't be exactly the same every time it happens. If you have a light period and nothing feels wrong, be happy and roll with it. =)
Hope this helped.
