Irregular Periods

I am 35 and have no children. I have been experiencing unusual periods for the last year. There is no pain, and the cycles are still pretty regular, about 28 days apart. The problem is, I have very dark, almost black spotting the first day or so, and then nothing for a day or so. This goes on and off for a few days, and then what seems like my "actual" period begins, with cramps and heavier blood flow. I had brown blood the day my period is due and cramping.... I've recently had retnial detachment eye surgery... Now, I am getting very worried. Should My periods are usually pretty regular I be concerned?

Welcome mistica73.


Because you had recent surgery, I am wondering if you are on any medications that could be affecting your cycle.

Actually they only gave me demmerol over night. And for the next month i was on 2 tylenol extra strength and 1 gravol and an antibiotic eye drop... Thanks for the heads up about fibroids.
