Menstrual blood: The color of menstrual blood is not usually important. It has more to do with how old the blood is and if it has gone through chemical oxidation or not. A change in color is not a sign of something harmful.

I have the nexplanon in my arm for birth control so I rarely have periods. I just finished a period 7-14 days ago. I am not bleeding again and the blood is dark red almost brown and has large clots of tissue in it. The flow is otherwise low for me.
