so my last period was Dec 22
and now for the past 4 days i have been getting this brown discharge
it does not smell bad and there is not a lot of it
it's just like my normal white discharge i always have except that it is brown

is this old blood or is it something to worry about
Well, I am 28 and have had 2 children and 1 miscarriage. I have this discharge every month. From what I have been told and from the research I have done it is more than likely perfectly normal. You will notice many changes in your body and in your period as you get older. Something that may help would be to keep a diary (with a lock on it..lol) and write down the dates of your period and anything that is abnormal or that you have questions about. You could also include what you ate and drank on the days you notice anything abnormal and you may be able to see a pattern.
Just from my personal experience and from talking with lots of my friends over the years I would venture to say that it is perfectly normal and that nothing is wrong. Something in your diet could have caused the discharge to be a different color. I have also had lots of friends who have had this happen to them on a monthly basis. I don't know if it's old blood, that's a good possibility though, but discharge is a sign of good female health. Your body is cleansing itself the way it should. As long as there is no odor I wouldn't waste the time and money to see a physician. All of this is my personal opinion. You know your body the best! Good luck and I hope this helps.
