Is it suppose to look like that?

Ok, I have a question and i warn you its a bit graphic at times... Here it is: Is it NORMAL to have a really really light flow during your period, but its not the right kind of light flow, we're talking only notice it when you wipe and its almost black-red. Its been happening the last 2 months, I tried drinking water but i only get bloated. I have REALLY bad mood swings during my periods and i normally get alot of cramping, so bad to the point i can't um *go number 2* cause it hurts to push. I am tired all day during these last couple periods and its like the egg broke but there was nothing there to carry it out so its just kinda sitting in my girl parts. Is that posssible? I'm sorry if I grossed you all out but i just need to know if its happened to other people. I don't go to a Gyn and am not on birth control. It could be stress since i lost my job 14 days before christmas but lately I've been ok. If anyone has any clues as to what my little girl parts are trying to tell me, please let me know, as much as i hate heavy flows, I'd rather have that than these little piddle so called periods. Thanks.

argh, I get that brown stuff too.. I wondered what it is and what is the cause.

I go through some similar ouchies - regarding the intestinal unpleasantness and inability to poop. I don't know what the cause is - aside from my hormones getting whacky - but I can tell you that a hot water bottle on your stomach will work *wonders* and ease the pain enough that going to the bathroom is no longer fraught with peril and cold sweat. Well, it worked for me, so I don't see any harm in suggesting to you. It used to be that I would have 2 - 3 days of severe discomfort and unpleasantness every month(thank heavens I'm unemployed, otherwise I'd be taking too many sick days) but since the advent of the hot water bottle, my ouch-ouch-ouch time is down to about four or five hours, and even that's bearable.

Now I just have to get my loves-it-when-it's-thirty-degrees-out husband to learn to love *me* when I'm about 100 degrees from clutching a hot water bottle for three days at a time. :)
