hi guys, ive spent my whole adolescence(11-19) on birth control due to painful periods, but ive come off of it since november because im so sick and tired of the side effects..

my periods since then have been normal until now!! im day 4 of my period, the blood is BLACK and a bit brown, but mainly black!! and its not as heavy as usual either! im used to changing pads every half an hour but the past few days have been cheap on my wallet as ive not had to buy as many!!

does anyone know why the blood may be black? should i be concerned that my flow isn’t as heavy as usual?

should i stay as panicked as i am? 😹😹
