    Period blood can run from bright red to somewhat brown especially depending on whether you normally have heavy flows or not. If you are worried about the possibility of pregnancy, then you need to take a pregnancy test. 14 days from when you had sex would be a good time to test. You have to give time for the chemical change to happen before a pregnancy test will show a positive or not. If you do a pregnancy test, use more than one kind because sometimes they can give a false positive.

    If you have not had sex recently and are just worried about your flow color then speak with a doctor. From your comment to another person on here it looks like you might have been sexually active. You can always wait the 14 days, take a pregnancy test, and then if it comes back negative (and definitely if it is positive) speak with your parents about going to the doctor. No need to mention to them about sex but your doctor is going to ask about it and expect an honest answer so they can help you.
