Hi tigermum21.
The color of blood you are describing just indicates that it is old blood and not fresh that the bright red indicates.

Hi there,
If you are on the pill, you shouldn't be getting any new cysts, since they are usually associated with ovulation.
As Lisa said, black blood means old blood, or well oxidised blood (having come into contact with oxygen, the iron in your blood means it becomes darker).
