A member asked:
My period blood has been dark brown/black and quite thick, throughout my whole period. so not just at the beginning or end. its been like this the past 3/4 months. not pregnant. still normal?

Period blood ?: "Dark brown/black" blood represents oxidized hemoglobin, which darkens with even brief time. This is usually normal, and depends on whether there is a slow release of blood from shedding endometrium, which may occur if a blood clot blocks the flow partially.
