Wow ummmmmmm i'm not sure.
Are you taking any meds? Anti-biotics,

Are you drinking something more than

I am not taking any meds or drinking
anything differently than before.
Urine consists of excess water and waste
products that have been filtered from the
blood by the kidneys. Its natural yellow
color is due to excretion of urochrome, a
blood pigment. Depending on the amount of
fluids you drink, your urine can range in
color from almost clear (diluted) to dark
orange (concentrated).
Most changes in urine color are temporary
and caused by food colors or medications.
However, an abnormal urine color may
indicate a serious disease. If you're
concerned about the color of your urine,
especially if you notice blood in it,
consult with your doctor.
