mauve mucous??

So, I coughed up some mauve (dark pink) mucous on Friday and I'm wondering if anyone else coughs up that color? I know that indicates the presence of blood, but I'm really not sure why. I have been feeling pretty good. I didn't cough really hard or anything. It actually happened twice. Once, while I was doing my Xopenex (but no vest) and then again later after I did some canoeing on the Wii Resort game. Neither time did I cough really hard or anything. Pink would mean relatively fresh blood, right? Do I need more Vit K? Does that just happen to others sometimes for no reason?

I have started bleeding many times when I am feeling pretty good. For me it always means inflammation or infections its never just 'ok' for me.

I'd get checked out before you get stranded in a bad spot over the holidays if something is brewing.

Emily coughs up pink mucus sometimes. It's considered her 'norm' when she is sick; her drs are aware of it. Sometimes it's streaked pink, other times it's a more uniform pink color (which seems to be what you are describing here.)

I would be concerned if I saw it when she was healthy since that would not be her typical thing. I think any time you start seeing something new it's good to call about it- esp like Nicole said when you know there is a holiday coming when it will be very hard to get in touch with your dr.

I did call the doctor and he said to watch it over the next few days. So far, I've had no other episodes, but it bugs me that it happened and is not the norm for me. Thanks for the comments. I'm hoping it was just a glitch and I'm not coming down with anything for Christmas.
