Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Menstrual blood: Menstrual blood can have a wide variety of appearances. You can use your past history of menstrual cycles as a guide to determine if this is normal for you. If you are concerned about pregnancy then check a home test.

Yes: This can be normal - tissue lining of uterus that is part of menstruation, and blood clots can be seen.
