Erste periode?

Hello

Yes, this is normal, depending on the age of the blood, the color and consistency varies. This is quite different and usually one has never a single color during the period, but usually brown, red, dark red, red, brown but that is very individual and very different.

________________________________________

What it is/was you have to find out for yourself.

Is that gonna disappear after two days? Is it just a little bit? Is it more brownish and mixes with the normal white flow?

If so, it’s just a lubrication bleeding

~

Is that longer than two days? Is it coming again next month? Will it be more? Does the color change in correct red? Don’t you have any or hardly any white flow during? Do you have to use a bandage because a slip insert is no longer sufficient?

If so, it’s your first period.

Why is the blood sometimes brown/black?

Brown or black period blood can always happen

This usually happens on the first and/or the last day of the period. Sometimes throughout.

Why? Mostly, it is relatively little blood at the beginning, since only the uppermost layer of the cervical mucosa was degraded, there are only the small blood vessels, which leads to a small amount of blood. Now it happens that the bit of blood mixes with the previously separated mucous membrane and becomes a semi-liquid mass. (The blood is there to transport the cervical mucosa out). At the end of the period the same, the amount of blood decreases and the blood mixes with the mucous membrane residues.

This mass now flows very slowly out of the womb and into the vagina and out of there out of the body. As it flows so slowly, the blood comes into contact with air for a long time and it OXIDIERT so in short it loses liquid and becomes brown.

~

This sounded somewhat complicated and chemically but simply said dries the blood and when blood dries it becomes brown and dark (loss of liquid).

You can see that if you have a wound. If you have a bleeding wound and a time is waiting, a BRAUNE crust is formed from the blood. This is the same as in the period

Blood comes into contact with air and dries = dark discoloration

__________________________________________

In the stronger course of the period, the deeper layers of the cervical mucosa also dissolve and thus larger blood vessels open which can then transport the whole more quickly and liquid out due to the amount. Therefore it is usually only at the beginning or at the end so brown or brownish and even if it remains brown throughout it is nothing bad.

Here’s a video explaining what happens during the period:
