What Causes Delayed Periods Followed By Black Vaginal Discharge?
My last period was late by 20 days. And in those 20 days I experianced terrible cramping, and feeling sick. I got my period day 20, but it was black. Not brown or red. Completely black. Now it s been a week since but I don t have cramps anymore, but my belly still feels queezy. What s wrong with me

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Brown or black blood is usually old blood.
If the period was not completely normal then it is possible that you are pregnant if you are sexually active.
A pregnancy test should be done.
Home pregnancy tests are accurate so you can do one of these.
I hope this helps
