dark brown blood before period
 

Hi

Has anyone suffered from this? What started as some spotting has over the years developed into 5 days of dark, thick brown discharge before I get my period. What could be causing this?

It's old blood that is just now passing.

It happens to me most of the times before periods. Sometimes 3 days in advance, sometimes 2 days and then regular period starts. It is annoying as it leaves spots on panties....so prefer using panty liners.
