my period isnt normal
16/f
the period that i'm on right now has been really weird. for maybe a week before, i had a brown discharge come out a few times. almost like brown spotting. it was kinda goopy, and just smelled like my inside. i started my period late sunday afternoon, maybe around 6 or so. i put a tampon in, and that night i changed it at midnight. i noticed that i didnt bleed barley any. it looked like two little spots on the tampon. i didnt think much about it. i changed it at midnight, and woke up around noon, i changed it at about 5, and it didnt bleed that much either. it looked, again, just like 3 little spots on the tampon. i usually bleed alot more, and need to change the tampon maybe like..every 3 or 4 hours or so, because i usually have a heavy flow. is something wrong? ( i'm on the pill, btw)

If your period is clumpy and stringy, I would stop wearing tampons for a little unless necessary. When you have your period, it is necessary for discharge to sometimes contain chunks. However, when you wear a tampon, it blocks them from flowing out normally and fully cleansing your system. As for the brown color, when my period came very late (it was irregular) it eventually went back to normal. Since I wasn't on the same schedule, it was "old". All in all, I recommend wearing pads for a bit to fully bleed.
Hope I helped,

Birth control pills can cause your periods to be much lighter. There isn't a need to have your period while on the pill, so most pills will stop your period altogether.
Birth control can also cause spotting, like what you're describing with the brown discharge.
Ask your doctor about what you should be expecting flow-wise with the particular birth control that you're using. He/she can tell you better than I can if what you're experiencing is normal.
