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.
Bright red, thin blood that flows rapidly like a fresh cut indicates the lining isn't being properly liquefied along with the blood. Also, consistency: If the blood is too thin and watery, it indicates a deficiency in the underlying reproductive energies. If it is thick, clumpy, stringy, or clotty, it indicates an excess condition where the flow is compromised. Sharp pain is not normal, nor is heavy cramping. A light ache in the center of the pelvis is considered normal as well, as the contractile function of the uterus is involved in releasing the blood.
