Guest guest Posted July 8, 2000 Report Share Posted July 8, 2000 well i used to get those kind of periods. but i had a hysterectomy. so it ended upas being endometriosis. black brown means old blood sometimes. so check it out and if it is endometriosis . do not i repeat do not take Lupron until a thorough investigation of it and contact endo. association. i know many women with it and that took it. and Lupron causes all kinds of horrible side effects they neglect to tell you about. such as depression/suicidal ideations. seizures. permanent eye/vision damage central nervous system problems the list is endless. there are very very few docs who are well-informed on endo. and its related problems. please check it out take notes and be careful with hormonal treatments. i dont know your history but heavy dark periods is a signal of some hormonal stuff. be educated contact everyone you know and learn your body. only you can make decisions for your body and you must stay informed. good luck. keep me posted thanks. ellen /sudses1@...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2000 Report Share Posted July 11, 2000 Thanks to all of you who responded. I don't have endometriosis. I'm 28, so I hope that I'm not going through menopause. My vulva itches on/off every day and it all started at the same time. I keep thinking that it is yeast, but it does not show up on the cultures. > listen do you have endometriosis? old blood is brown. black is getting old. > or vise versa. i cant remember i have memory probs. but i do remember the > pain and all before my hysterectomy. i remember the brown black blood > ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2000 Report Share Posted July 12, 2000 Hello, Jodi: Your comments prompted me to do a search about ovulation since birth control pills prevent ovulation. I found a very interesting site which can be found at: http://www.drdaiter.com/ovulation.html Among other things, the author claims that we release about 1000 eggs each cycle which I never knew before.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2000 Report Share Posted July 12, 2000 , I don't think that anyone responding so far to your " black/brown period " query with a " do it yourself diagnosis " has mentioned the possibility of fibroids? I developed periods that started with some brown " dry " blood and then lingered on with the same kind of thing for days and days. This has coincided with me developing uterine fibroids (muscular type tumours). Apparently these are very common but often women don't even know they have them unless they have symptoms of some kind, most commonly heavy periods. At any rate, why not have a check up? I believe that endometriosis is very difficult to diagnose but fibroids will show up on an ultrasound - but you need to have a good ultrasonographer.
