A member asked:
Period just started and it's very light flow and it's thick dark brown. i know i'm not pregnant (not sexually active)?

Normal: It can be normal to have period blood that is bright red to dark brown and all colors in between. The color has everything to do with how old the blood is. Darker=older. For some women period starts out dark, then goes to bright red and then back to dark red. If it's on time it's likely normal.
