Skipped Period and Now Brown Blood.
I skipped a period last month and this month when I got my period it is brown blood. From what I understand, my skipped period was due to dehydration. Is it possible that this is blood that has been sitting in my uterus (or whatever) so it's brown with age? Not a medical emergency, just curiosity. Thanks.

This seems like an obvious question... Could you be pregnant? It is not uncommon to have a small amount of brownish discharge at the very beginning of pregnancy. They usually call this "implantation bleeding". That means that when the fertilized egg implants into the uterine wall, it can cause a small amount of bleeding. There can also be a lot of cramping during this period of time. You were right about the brown blood being old blood. If it is brown it means that the bleeding stopped but now the old blood has to come out.
There are a lot of other things that would cause a missed period or an abnormal period. There are too many to list here, but you would have to be VERY severely dehydrated for that to be the cause. I doubt that it was. (Being that dehydrated is SO bad for your body. Do I have to say "shame on you?" :-) )
First, make sure you are not pregnant. Then, make sure that you don't have an infection in there. A simple yeast infection, if left untreated, could cause this problem. Assuming that everything checks out okay, you could wait it out a couple months and see if it "fixes itself". Your body should "self-regulate". If it does not fix itself in a couple months then I would recommend seeing a doctor.
I can't say good-bye, though, without nagging about how important it is to take care of yourself! Please drink a lot of water and eat healthy foods! Okay, enough nagging! :-)

well, what i think if could be, is some times your period can change times, and be lighter or heavier than others. Sometimes when i have a light period it is brownish color. So i think its normal, but if its still weird next month, maybe you should ask a doctor.
I hope i helped
