There is just no way for us to tell you why or what does this changes mean. Bodies are not machines so they won't always react the same way. Periods can and often will vary and there are a lot of reasons for this to happen such as changes in food, sleeping patterns, stress and many more. :)

We couldn't possibly tell you why your menstrual flow is the bright color you say that it is. But we can tell you the color of flow, and its consistency, often varies, as you have probably experienced and observed in the past.

Menstrual periods are about shedding the uterine lining. Sometimes that lining comes out as a liquid, and other times it can come out more solid, like you're experiencing.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead
