Hi!
It is always possible!  I would suggest a pregnancy test.  Call and ask if your doctor does them for free, or if anyone else in town does?  Often there are several options for a free test if you have the time to go in--if not get one at Walmart, etc.
If it is NOT positive, it could simply be that hormones are a little out of whack this month.  See what next month is like and if the pattern continues you may need to be seen.

Hope this helps!

It sounds like implantation bleeding to me. I would suggest taking a pregnancy test. I had a similar situation, so I took a HPT and it came back negative. But I called my Dr. to ask if I should make an appointment. All she said was I should just wait and see if I get my period next month. She said if there is no period I'm most likely pregnant. Good luck!

I had a really short period which concisted of ONLY brown blood.
It lasted around 3 days and was a really dark colour, and smelt kinda funky (lol).
But on a serious note, I am worried. Its never happened before, and i've read other stuff about "dried blood" - but it all all through my period, not just at the end. I was also 3 days early to start.
Whats going on ?! Am i pregnant ? - Please reply x
