Is it normal to have blood in your urine during your period?
No, it's not normal to have blood in your urine during your period. If you are using external menstrual products like pads, or internal products like tampons or softcups that can leak, then blood lingering around the vaginal opening or vulva will be washed off by urine as you urinate and so there will be blood in the toilet bowl. If there is blood in the urine itself, not from menstrual flow, then it is a sign of a urinary tract infection (common if you use commercial menstrual pads such as Always or Kotex) and you should talk to your doctor.
