Period?

Unread post by aubriello »

My period this month is kind of a snotty/mucusy texture and it's not bright red how it usually is. It's like an orangy red. I was just wondering if this was normal
:( I'm really freaked out even though I has no risk

I would recommend that you read these articles: Honorably Discharged: A Guide to Vaginal Secretions, and On the Rag: A Guide to Menstruation, and work out if, after reading, you feel like what you're experiencing is abnormal.

You certainly don't need to be freaked out about pregnancy though, because as you said, you had no risk.
