Your period blood can change color from cycle to cycle, or even during the same flow. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand what’s normal and what may need attention 💖

Bright Red

Usually indicates fresh, steady flow. This is typical during the first couple of days of your period.

Dark Red or Brown

Often appears at the beginning or end of your period. It’s older blood that took longer to exit the body — totally normal.

Pink

May show up with spotting or lighter flow. If it’s consistent, it could signal low estrogen, especially if combined with irregular cycles.

Orange or Grey

If accompanied by a bad smell or unusual texture, it could be a sign of infection. It’s a good idea to check with your doctor.

Always remember that everyone's flow is a little different. But tracking these changes can give you better insight into your health.
