Im assuming i just started my period. it is time for it. however its different it is purple not red. why is that?

Normal variation: It is likely a normal variation on your period. Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.
