Brown blood or spotting can sometimes also be an early sign of pregnancy that doctors refer to as implantation bleeding. At the beginning or end of your period, blood can be a dark brown/red shade and can have a thick consistency—but it’s also normal for the first signs of your period to be bright red and more liquid.
