This does not mean you are pregnant. When you are pregnant your period will stop completely. Your period should consist of regular red blood, which you are no doubt experiencing. It is perfectly normal for what appears to be ‘normal’ blood to appear during your period. You should also expect, however, a certain amount of brown/red discharge. You need to remember that when you are on your period, you are actually getting rid of the lining of the womb. Every time you are on your period you lose this substance and blood that is built up in that area of your body.
To make it easier for you, you are able to buy sanitary products in shops that can absorb the blood during your period. A tampon is a cylindrical product that goes inside of your vagina to absorb blood during the day. It must be changed ever 6-8 hours or so, however. There is a string on the tampon that makes it easy to take out after its use. It’s an incredibly effective method of absorbing blood and other substances that will be released during your period.
Another option is a sanitary towel. These are ‘pads’ that attach to your underwear and fit perfectly so that the blood is caught and absorbed throughout the day. Remember, if you’re still having periods then you cannot be pregnant.
If you stop having periods, however, then go and see your doctor or nearest sexual health clinic. They will be able to talk to you about why it may be happening and can even give you a pregnancy test (depending on your age) for free. Remember, too, that in order to avoid an unwanted pregnancy to practice safe sex at all times, whether that’s through condoms, the pill, or the injection. There are many options for you these days.
