Usually normal: Dark blood suggest that the blood is old. The old blood probably has mucous mixed with it and this can give a syrupy appearane. This is normal. Every period is not the same in the amount of flow or the color. I suggest you see how your other periods go. This sounds normal but if you are concerned don't hesitate to cal your doctor.
