Well first of all... You must be rather young if you think anyone would assume having a blood-laced bowel movement was somehow related to the female menstrual cycle.
Second... you may want to talk to a doctor or your parents.
But for quick non-doctor medical advice...
If it's just a small amount it's probably nothing.
if it's in large quantities however, look at the color.
- bright red means it's fresher and is from the lower end of your GI tract.
- dark brown/black is more serious ... it's older blood from the upper part of your GI tract. ... unless you've been taking Pepto Bismol or iron tablets. (those will also turn your BM dark brown / black)
Is it normal if I pooped out blood?
