Is it normal for the first blood of my cycle to be pink?

Soso answered

Okay so yeah, pink period blood at the start of your cycle is totally normal. It's just a mix of a little bit of blood and your regular discharge, especially if it's light flow.

Sometimes it can look pink because your flow is super light, so the blood gets mixed with other fluids from your vagina. It's kinda like when you mix a tiny bit of red paint with white paint, it turns pink, right? Also, if the blood takes a little longer to leave your body, it can get diluted and show up as pink. No biggie.

If your period is mostly pink all the time and it’s super light, it could be your body still figuring things out, especially in the first few years. But if you're worried about any changes or it stays like that for a long time and you're feeling off, it's always good to just check in with a grown-up or a doctor. They can help you figure out what's up.

Soso answered

Yes, having a super light, brownish, or pinkish first period is completely normal. A first period is often just a tiny bit of spotting rather than a full flow. When blood takes longer to leave your body, it oxidizes and turns brown, and a…

I just tried to use a tampon to make sure I was comfortable with it and when I pulled it out, there was a spot of blood and some orange blood too. Does that mean I've started my period or it's coming in a few few days?

Soso answered

That spot could be the very start of your first period, or it could just be a tiny bit of irritation from putting a dry tampon in when you were not bleeding yet. Trying a tampon when you do not have your period can hurt or scrape a tiny…
