Abnormal period: Have you been having unprotected sex. If so you may be pregnant or have developed a sexually transmitted disease. See your doctor for a check up and diagnosis.

There can be: Variability in amount, texture and color. It sounds like older blood that is deoxygenated being cleaned out of the uterus. Would not fret.
