so I am reading a lot about this brownish discharge happening around ovulation time or between 11 and 14 days after the start of your period. I too have noticed this the past 3 months, I am 30 years old, had been on birth control for over 10 years and am now trying to have a baby. I am thinking, but have not clarified yet with my doc, that it is a sign of ovulation-which is kind of gross and not exactly a turn on for my husband, but the thing is, this morning, being the most fertile day for me to conceive, we had intercourse, and about an hour later I got out of bed, and it was almost as if his ejaculation inside me caused my whole system to get flushed out and all of his "deposit" or at least a lot of it and this brownish discharge came out back out of me. If the brownish discharge is a sign of ovulation, isn't it completely defeated when nothing stays inside me to get me pregnant? is there anything else this could be and should I be seeing my doctor with this in case it is a sign of something more severe? %-) %-)
