there is a damn lot of difference between ur period blood and the blood which is given. first of all when the uterine wall sheds off the blood contains the debris so its rich in proteins moreover the ph is changed because the vagina has an acidic ph while blood is alk
also remember the blood in the period is liquid ,and not a clotted one coz it contains fibrinolysin (so a few clotting factors of blood is removed like fibrinogen) an anticoagulant(natural)while blood in the blood banks also contain anticoagulant but an artificial one like oxalate edta and others, there are still many difference which is beyond ur level, also it has unfertilised ovum etc
but it should be enough for u

Yes there is (period blood) is bad eggs from the females ovaries that was not used in the baby making process. The blood that you would donate could never go in to another body or else they might die. It's kinda like a lethal injection.

Yes - menstrual blood contains the lining of the uterus in addition to blood.
Also, it contains an enzyme called plasmin, which stops it from clotting as much as "normal" venous blood.

no your blood is pumped round your body by your heart it is all the same,i suggest the 3 answers before me get their facts right first before giving answers that are wrong,if the blood wasnt being pumped around all the time it would clot,blood is circulating round your body all the time never stopping in one place or organ for long,theonly diffrence is period blood also contains the linning of your uterus as well,
