Having brown period blood is COMPLETELY normal. It is called âold bloodâ and comes out either at the start or end of a womanâs period. In the middle of menstruation, this is heavier and takes a pink or red color. Blood becomes brown because of its iron content â iron turns brown when it is exposed to air.
In most cases, brown blood during your period is completely normal. Throughout your menstrual cycle, the color and consistency of blood can change. It can be thin and watery one day, and thick and clumpy the next. It may be bright red or brown, heavy or light. Typically, brown blood is present towards the end of your cycle. As your body sheds the uterine lining in the first few days of your cycle, the blood is normally red. But as you end your cycle, the blood you discharge is older and might be discolored. Sometimes, spotting or brown discharge occurs in the middle of your cycle, when youâre ovulating.
