I’ve been receiving a lot of Period Blood DMs. So here is a thread of the meaning of different period blood colors:

🤎: Brown blood usually presents itself in the beginning or end of the period. Sometimes it can be an early sign of 🤰 #MenstrualHealth
🩸: If your period blood is bright red, then it’s fresh blood and a steady flow.
🧡: If your period blood is orange, then the period blood is mixed with cervical fluid. And in some instances, it could be a sign of possible infection.
💖: Seeing extremely light red or pink colored blood can happen when your period is lighter than usual or when you’re spotting. It’s normal to have a light period flow on occasion, especially if you’re stressed out, highly athletic, or experiencing weight changes.
💖 Continued: If your period is light month after month, it could be an indicator of a vitamin or nutrient deficiency, which could put your bones and heart at risk. Take this time to reassess your diet and make sure to eat lots of protein-rich foods.
🖤: Okay, now if your period blood is black... DO NOT PANIC.

The period blood that sticks around the longest in your uterus will be the DARKEST. Most commonly, this blood will be brown, but it’s not abnormal if it’s black. You’ll most likely see this in the beginning or end.
💙 or 💜: Yes. You can have period blood that’s blue or purple. You’ll see a blue or purple hue when the blood is clotted. Keep in mind, period clots and clumps are completely normal during your monthly cycle.
💙 or 💜 Continued: If you’re seeing dark blue or purple bleeding, it means you have too much estrogen in your system. All that means is that you need to change your diet and have some more fibre in your system.
🤍: If you’re period blood is GREY...
As @foyinog says: CUT THE CAMERAS. Call your GP for a visit. Grey blood is a sign of bacterial vaginosis. Watch out for itching, burning & bad smells.
