A member asked:
I came off my period a few weeks ago but about a week later i came back on and for some reason my blood is dark red , gooey and stringy. please can you tell me why?

A one-time symptom?: Blood appears brighter red if it is fresher or has more oxygen, and looks dark or black if it has been around longer. Occasional hormonal changes may cause changes in the quality & thickness of the uterine lining, in the amount of blood flow, and the time it takes to flow out. These things can make one's menstrual flow patterns change. An ob-gyn doctor should evaluate if symptoms persist or recur.
