Bright red bleeding during the menstrual cycle typically is nothing more than an indication of fresh blood being expelled along with the lining of the uterus. This normally occurs during the beginning of the cycle when the blood is freshest. As the cycle progresses, the blood may become darker and thicker.
Explaining the Underlying Causes. Having brown period blood is COMPLETELY normal. It is called âold bloodâ and comes out either at the start or end of a womanâs period. In the middle of menstruation, this is heavier and takes a pink or red color. Blood becomes brown because of its iron content â iron turns brown when it is exposed to air.
