Period De-Coding: What Do Different Menstrual Blood Colors Mean?

The bloody truth of getting your period is that it’s going to be bloody. It’s likely you’ll be exposed to an array of colors and consistencies throughout your menstruating years, so we thought it would be helpful to de-code your period colors and tell you what the different menstrual blood colors mean and if/when you should be concerned.

Colors that should not cause concern:

Bright Red

Bright red blood usually tells us that it is fresh, or new, blood. When your flow is heavy, you’ll like see bright red (or pink) blood. Some women will stay this shade for their whole cycle, which means their flow/uterine shedding is consistent.

Dark Red

You may see dark red blood when you wake up and first use the bathroom on your cycle, in the morning. Or during the middle of your cycle. This is blood that has been sitting in the uterus for a little while.

Brown

Brown blood is old blood. This is usually seen at the beginning or end of the period cycle, usually when you have very light bleeding because it takes some time to exit your body. If you have brown blood between periods it may be a concern so check in with your doctor. 

Colors to stay on alert for:

Orange

When mixed with cervical mucous, orange blood can be normal, but sometimes is it associated with an infection. So probably best to see your doc. 

Gray

Gray blood may be a sign of an infection or a miscarriage. Get on that phone. 

Other bloody facts:

Irregular bleeding

A normal cycle is 21-35 days. If you are experiencing bleeding between periods, it may be bright red, dark red, or brown. Check with your doctor is you experience irregular bleeding. 

Consistency changes

Color changes are not a concern, unless orange and gray, but consistency may be a concern. If you constantly have heavy periods and bleed through pads, you may become anemic. There are medications available to help you have less heavy periods. 

If you are concerned about irregularities in your cycle, we recommend speaking with your doctor.

        Hi Dominique, If you have a shorter cycle, it is possible to have two periods in a single month. If you are concerned, however, we always recommend speaking with a doctor who can help to put your mind at ease. Xx

        Dark red typically indicates older blood, which can be totally normal and may well be related to having two cycles this month. Again, if you’re concerned about these irregularities, please don’t hesitate to call your doctor! Xx

    My period started off very light unusual for my mentrual cycle and also I experience heavy cramping and tender breasts. Well I’m on day 4 and it has been light the whole time. I haven’t had to wear a tampon I’ve just been sliding some tp down there for just incase. Sometimes I do get a rush when I have to go to the bathroom to check, and it’s very dark red, but then after that for hours it goes back to very light but still dark red. It’s so light when I don’t have the rush and the rush has only happened 3 times in the last 4 days. I have no cramps and my breasts have not been tender but I am feeling discomfort in my what feels to be uterus and cervics. I need help ))): i don’t want to seek medical attention if I’m just over thinking it because I can’t afford to just go to the doctors.

    I ended my last period just under three weeks ago. It started again today, which is a very short cycle for me. It shouldn’t have started for at least another week, maybe two. It’s a really light flow, thick and very dark, with cramps still showing up nearly 24 hours later. Nothing about this is normal. I usually start heavy with bright red blood and cramps that are over by the time one dose of ibuprofen wears off. Could this be because I started a new exercise regimen six weeks ago, swimming 1/2 mile 3-4 times a week? I’m 36 and have shown no signs of menopause. Could the workout have triggered this bizarre period by causing my body to need to take back the blood to put it to other uses?

    My cycle is usually every 35 days. I ended my last period about a week and a half ago and started again 3 days ago. Its been a mixture of red blood and brown blood at the same time (if that makes since). Usually its just red blood and brown blood at the very end. I had my little girl 6 months ago and had my tubes tied immediately after and have had spotting between periods ever since. Do you have any idea why this could be happening?

When I used to get my periods they would last a week and be light. Now a year later, I had regular sex and a week later I got my period, it’s been going on for more than a week and it’s not too heavy but it’s not light and my blood is bright red and it used to be more of a darker red. Is this normal or is it implantation?

    Hi there. I’ve been on the nexplanon for 1 year. Periods last 1-4 months. Started out dark, was a “normal” color then would be over (sometimes brown at the end not always)
    Now starts out light for days, over for 5-8 hours. Comes back spotty and brown for days, over 5-8 hours then is super heavy and dark red.
    I’m going to make an appt with my dr. But I was just wondering if this is normal or if this has happened to anyone else?
    (Just want to feel a little at ease before I go to the DR.)

      Hi Allora, Congrats on starting your period! It’s very normal to experience irregular periods when you start. It’s also a good idea to speak with your doctor about what’s going on and any concerns you might have. Xx

    I got my first period around a year ago and I’ve only had two periods since then. What should I do and is this normal?

    Thank you for a helpful site. I didn’t even know an brownish Orange was even a possible color of blood until this morning. I googled it and found your site. I will make an appointment to see my dr because I also had another concern this month with bleeding mid cycle. I bled lightly for a couple days. I know about implantation bleeding but knew that was unlikely. Any thoughts on what might be going on?
