Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Dark brown vaginal discharge during menstruation is absolutely normal. You may notice that your menstrual blood becomes dark brown or almost black as you near the end of your period. This is a normal color change.
It happens when the blood is older and not being expelled from the body quickly. When discharge is old the colour gets darker, this is absolutely normal. Also your period last for a normal 3 days so you need not to worry.

Don't worry you would be fine
Hope this information helps.
