Is period blood real blood?
About every month a woman gets rid of an egg from her womb (period) and the 'blood' that is expelled during a period is the old "blood rich" lining of ones womb. At the beginning of a period, the blood looks redder because it is freshly being sloughed off (sliding off, sliding away) from the walls of the uterus. As the period progresses, the blood becomes darker, indicating it is old blood. (Meaning: If a doctor saw bright red blood, it indicates a new "bleed"-- anywhere in the body. Old blood is dark red to light or dark brown, meaning old blood and therefore of less concern unless it is in vomit.)
