The color of blood during a miscarriage can vary significantly. It can range from pink to red to brown, and sometimes even appear as dark as coffee grounds or near black.
Understanding the Blood Color
The variation in color is primarily due to the age of the blood:
- Red Blood: Indicates fresh blood that is leaving the body relatively quickly.
- Brown Blood: Suggests that the blood has been in the uterus for a longer period. You may also see discharge that resembles coffee grounds or appears nearly black, which is also indicative of older blood.
In summary, the color of blood during a miscarriage is not uniform and can present in various shades.
