A member asked:
Is it normal for the first two day of your period is dark red?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Color of menstrual flow will vary depending upon speed. Heavy fast flow tends to be brighter in color while slower flow tends to be darker. Slower flow might also tend to clot more since it hasn't moved as much, thus allowing for clotting factors to set up.
