Can a period start with brown blood?

I am a 17 year old female. I want to know if a period can start with brown blood?

Yes. It is very normal and common for that to happen. It can either start or end with brown bleeding.

Hello and thank you for your help.

Yes your period can start with brown blood or bright red blood.

Yes, sometimes before the full cycle begins, there may be spotting that is brown or dark red. The cycle may end in dark red or brown spotting also.
