Period Question..(sorry if sounds dumb)

Hi,


I'm on day two of my period..and I woke up this morning and was standing in kitchen making coffee and all of a sudden i felt kind of like a rush ( a little rush..hard to explain) of my period.  And sure enough it had trickled out and made a bit of a mess on my underwear..through the side of my pad.  Now..is this just cuz I had woken up and had been standing for the first time in 8 or so hours cuz I had been sleeping?  I know it sounds stupid..and is nothing probably but I tend to work myself up about health things and have anxiety disorder..so I am just looking for clarification..


 


Thanks so much..


oh..btw..I usually never bleed during the night..i don't know if you need that info or not..


Sorry..just need peace of mind..


I also have another question..what color of red is or isn't normal for menstration??  Or does this vary from one to the next?


Also I just got up again..and it did the same again..(i've had this happen before..awhile back)..it is ok right?  It isn't pouring onto the floor or anything..maybe i need better pads for the first few days now?? (I also just started back on the bc pill 2months ago)..


Once again..i'm sorry if i sound like a freak..just need reasurance or something..like i said i get REALLY anxious over health stuff.  Sorry.

Well that happens to me all the time. I rarely bleed during the night unless I'm having an exceptionally heavy period but normally not and then when I get up I feel alot of it coming out of me. So I'm sure it's just becaUse you are standing now. And as far as the color of the blood, it can range (from my experience which is alot of years), anywhere from bright red to brown. Don't worry everything sounds normal to me but I'm not a doctor so if you are still concerned you should go and see yours and ask him/her these questions. And by the way - Don't ever think a question is stupid, only stupid people don't ask questions!!!

I really don't think you're hemorrhaging.
