Brown Period ..Every Month

Hi guys , I have been having this issue for a while now and hoping someone out there can help me . So , since February my normal period mysteriously spotted, instead , i started getting blown blood every month , its thin blood , grainy at times , has clots here and there and even comes out as black sometimes ! i just don't know what to do , i keep reading everywhere that brown blood is a old blood at all that and that it usually happens at the beginning or end of a period but for me its constantly brown! i am trying to conceive my first child and no luck yet and I am almost 100% that this is causing our difficulty . i have been to the doctors and they are very dismissive since we have not been trying for a year yet ( we are going into our 4th month of ttc) i just feel helpless , other symptoms include mild hot flushes at night ,i have this weird one hair growing on my chin all of the sudden and a constant recurring spot on the back of my neck . Is it hormonal ? i am 26 so am praying its not some sort of early menopause :( , please share your thoughts

Have you recently come off hormonal contraception to ttc? My periods were a bit brown sludge when I came off the pill, then I had regular accupuncture and the flow is much better now.

Do you periods come regularly or are they irrelegular? Might be worth trying to pinpoint your ovulation with taking your temperature (look up basal body temperature) and using opks.

Good luck

I used to get brown blood when I bled on cerazette, have you come off the pill? If you haven't and this is new then maybe the GP should be investigating it regardless of if you are TTC?

Thank you for your reply’s guys , I came off the pill mid way through last year and everything seemed to be fine for a few months , I did have irregular periods like 28 , 35 , 40 days but it seemed to have settled down and then out of nowhere this happens , Now the bleeding is fairly regular comes 27 -29 days . I agree @rosie , I will go back to the GP and ask to be checked again
