A member asked:
I just started my period a few hours ago and i went to go change my pad and there is only a little blood and it is thick and black. not brown, black.

No problem: If blood sits in the air long enough it will turn black. Because you are bleeding so lightly it has probably been going on longer than you realize, giving the blood enough time to turn from red to brown to black.
