YOUR BOD | PERIODS, PERIOD | Q&A

My period comes out clumpy. Ew.

 
I get brown clumps in my pad when I get my period, and they freak me out! What are they, and does it mean something’s wrong?

There’s nothing like some brown clumps to remind you that periods are kinda, well, icky! But fortunately, those brown clumps are also perfectly healthy. Phew!
 
Basically, when a girl’s menstrual flow is fast, it’s red. But when it slows down, it becomes brown due to exposure to the air. Plus, periods are all about your uterus cleaning itself out, so you’re also shedding the lining of your uterus. That means clumps and clots are not only OK, they’re expected.

I have this brown stuff in my underwear that's kinda clumpy. I haven't gotten my period yet, so is this my period?




Hey girlie,

Yep, it could be the beginning of your period. Or it could just be discharge and your period will come later.  The best thing to do is stay prepared with a pad/tampon in your purse and wait to see what happens next.

MODMODMOD! i kno this article says that the brown is normal but i got it at the end of the month and it isnt heavy but it stains faintly like blood. then i got it the next month and then i skipped like 4 months and i got it briefly and now 3 months later approximately i hav it again! i hav read up and gotten confused answers---is this my period or is my body getting ready to hav my period? if it is my period is that normal to hav no blood just the brown? thanx sooooooo much Smile




Hey girl, the brown can be dried blood which is normal. I'd say it's spotting. Have pads ready and know your real period may be coming super soon.
