I have always had a normal period, around 28 days. I started Dec. 28th 2010 and I started bleeding a little yesterday (Jan 18th) but its very light and almost a brown color. Can this be caused from stress or is there something wrong?
Our bodies are not machines - there hardly ever is a woman on this plant who never experienced her period to be early, late, heavy or hard... and all that even without some specific reason. Yes, stress and anxiety can contribute, as well as the weight change - both weight loss and weight gain. But there are also some more serious reasons as to why this might happen - some infection or irritation on cervix. Brown blood means that its old, already coagulated. So, this is nothing dangerous unless it starts to happen month after month. In that case you should see your gynecologist.
