A member asked:
My periods is usually thick, dark, and heavy from day 1-day 7. i just started my period yesterday and it's bright red and very thin. i'm not sure why?

Fresh blood: Blood darkens and thickens the longer it is out of vessels--so it suggests that your usual menstrual bleeding has been there for a while versus this time, which had fresh bleeding come out. Nothing to worry about.
