Get them tested .: You can get enough reassurance by getting tested.Are you taking any iron/multivitamin prep. Note for any change in the colour of urine/stool. Dark smoky urine/red tinged / pink urine all are possible with varying degrees of blood in urine. Stool if has digested blood from bleeding tendency in the intestinal system , high in stomach/small intestine , colour appears from tarry black/brown/maroon.
