On my period...but the blood is black?!

Hi honey, no this is not bad, this does happen like it happen at the end of your period, but it is nothing to worry about, it does happen to myself, and some of my girlfriends, so please don't worry there is nothing wrong with you, your period will start to get a brighter shade of red in the next day or so!.

You have a good day and keep your chin up!. Don't Worry :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

The reason the blood appears black is because it is oxygenated which means that there is more oxygen in the blood then co2 or carbon dioxide or just dioxide!. So the darker the color the more oxygen!. also it is normal for the blood to be brown,pink,red,or a Dark deep red which appears black to you!.But everything is fine And if you'ree on birth control than yeah it probably is old blood!. But if you're not on birth control than you probably started your period!. Birth control puts your period on a "schedule"Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think its just heavy!.!.!. If its just a bit, that's weird, but if its a lot of blood, that's just the amount of it that's turning it black!.

If its a little bit, that may just be the pre-menstrual discharge that I get when I'm literally a day away from my period starting!.

How long have you been getting periods!? If they're still fairly new, you probably haven't evened out yet!. And everybody gets irregular days!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

No not at all bad!! I am 12 and I started in June, and just to let you know, for a while when you first start, the blood is black because it is old blood that has been in your system for a while, and now that you've started it has a chance to come out!. Most of the time it's brown, but I've had black before!. warning, when you start using tampons, don't leave them in for more than 8 hours, I actually recommend leaving them in 4 hours tops!. Reason being, some people forget and leave them in longer than 8 hours, and there is so much old blood that re-enters your blood stream, that you can get a deadly disease, (non-curable) that is called Toxic Shock Syndrome!. It is very terrible! and that's why I keep track of when I put one in and for how long I have had it in!. Also, when you start using tampons, be sure to hold the finger grip, and when inserting into your vagina, make sure to keep going farther in until your fingers on the finger grip come in contact with your vagina!. I recommend Playtex Gentle Glide, regulars!. Every box comes with instructions, and so you can read those, and ask your mom for help!. Good luck! and ps, you're a woman now!Www@Answer-Health@Com
