What coulor will my period blood be

Okay so period blood isn't just one color, and it totally changes shades during your period and even from cycle to cycle. It's usually like, a whole rainbow of reds and browns, which is super normal. Don't worry if it's not always bright red; that just means it's been hanging out for a bit.

What are the normal colors?

• Bright red: This is usually when your flow is heaviest, like on your first or second day. It means the blood is fresh and flowing fast.
• Dark red or brown: You'll probably see this at the beginning or end of your period, or when your flow is lighter. It's just older blood that's had more time to mix with air and change color. Totally normal, like when an apple turns brown after you cut it.
• Pink: Sometimes when your period is super light, or if it mixes with other fluids, it can look pink. This happens a lot at the very start or very end of your period.

Sometimes you might see tiny clots, especially on heavier days, and those can look a bit darker. That's also usually fine. Just like, if you're soaking through pads or tampons every hour for several hours, or if you ever see super weird colors like gray or green, that's definitely something to mention to a grown-up just to be safe. But for the most part, all the shades of red and brown are just showing your body doing its thing!
