[quote=crystalrose;1185041]What has bothered me was the really bright red blood and fluid. And that it was real heavy. /quote]

Bright red blood is just fine- as Rhapsody said, bright red = new blood. The brownish blood and large clots = old blood and myometrium.

Exercise and good fluid intake will increase the amount of outflow. Wearing a pad for heavy flow and or tampon for heavy ~ which is changed after your workout *should* erase the problem. That's my personal (not professional) recommendation. If you regularly go through a heavy pad in 30 minutes (or less), go to the ER.
