No. Although, brown menstrual blood is sometimes common near the beginning or end of your cycle. Orange blood could be a once only thing that you should not worry about. If it happens frequently, you may be anemic. If it happens again, please so a doctor.

No, orange is not a normal color for menstrual blood. It can range anywhere from light pink to a dark brown. Dark Brown just represents the older blood and usually appears on the last day or two. If you are seeing an orange color, you need to see a doctor immediately. This could be a sign of an infection.

Normal menstrual blood is in the red spectrum, from bright red like from a papercut to a dark red-brown like dried blood. Orange is not a normal menstrual blood color.

Cervical mucus is often colorless or straw-yellow in color (like plasma), so excess mucus, mixed with menstrual blood, can produce an orange color. Visit your gynecologist.

Did you recently change the lightbulbs in your bathroom? I just changed mine to the curly type of bulb and my menstrual period turned orange. I checked the TP under a normal florescent light and it was red. Who knew?

Seriously? I can't believe I tried this, but.... I actually used the restroom without the overhead lights after reading this. There is PLENTY of window light. Of course, as expected...still orange.  add a comment

You could be low on B12, which helps to make red blood cells. This is a common deficiency for vegetarians. Try taking B12 suppliments.
