 Posted: 05/01/06 - 09:38 Post subject: odorless, brown clumpy discharge between periods |
  |
|
Here's the situation:
I'm sexually active with one guy, we're eachothers firsts. We ALWAYS use a condom. This month, I have noticed a brown discharge which is very light but comes out in clumps. I first noticed about a week ago when both of my roomates started their period, I got cramps and had a little bit of brown in my underwear. I thought I was starting my period but I wasn't. Then when i go to the bathroom, sometimes I see little brownish clumps in the toilet. This has happened in the past, but the clumps were white. I am supposed to get my period in a week and a half. I am sick/have allergies. I am taking claritin and mucinex. but this is so weird and I want to know whats wrong. I can't go to the dr for another week and a half. So hopefully by then I'll have my period!!! Maybe it's an infection? or a side effect? Can anyone help??? |

It is good that you mentioned that both of your roommates got their periods because I once read an interesting thing. It is said that women who live together or spend a lot of time together usually menstruate together.
The reason lies in the odorless chemical called pheromones found in the armpit of women that can influence on the women menstrual cycle and make it longer or short and make women menstruate together.
This chemical is known to be present in animal, as sex attractants but have been found in humans too. So, this could be one of the possible explanations of your discharge.
Since you are using condoms all the time, you have nothing to worry about pregnancy or STD’s, so you are safe. However, if you experience this again, make sure you see a doc. |
