Uncovering the Secrets of Brown Period Blood: What’s Normal and What’s Not
Brown period blood is a mixture of blood and endometrial tissue, also known as menstruation. After a period, the lining of the uterus thickens in preparation for implantation of an egg. This is why it is common for blood to be dark brown at the end of a period. Ovulation blood is usually light pink in color. If the egg is fertilized, it implants in the uterus, if not, it is released with the endometrial lining and blood. Sometimes, when the follicle releases the egg, there may be a small amount of bleeding.
