The blood in your period is actually your uterine lining shedding. It simply goes from the uterus, out a small opening in the cervix, then through the vagina and out of your body. Normally, a woman would use a sanitary towel ("pad") or tampon to absorb the blood, to enable her to dispose of it hygienically.
