Are you losing real blood in your body when you experience withdrawal bleeding?

Withdrawal bleeding: It it is red or reddish or brown reddish it is real blood. Unless you have been eating beets and your urine turned red and is on your pad. Then it is beet pigment. Discuss with your team.

Yes, blood: The lining of your uterus sheds -so there is blood mixed with some tissue.
