it has begun

My period started Saturday night with some spotting. Put in my cup. The next morning, I had very mucus-y blood that I dumped out of my cup. I noticed in the next few cup dumps that my blood separated from the water as there was a noticable watery fluid that wasn't as red as the blood layer underneath. It is a similar consistency this morning too. A bit less stringy then yesterday. The period poops aren't fun either.
