I am 18, no kids and sexually active, about 2 weeks before my expected period, i started having dark brown discarge. i first noticed it when i went to the bathroom and wiped, then i noticed it on my panties. i'ts not enough discharge to use a tampon, so i've been having to wear pantyliners constantly. my period should have started a few days ago but i'm still having this dark brown disharge, i did see a little bit of bright red blood today, but it stopped. I don't have any clue what is going on with my uterus, i'm very frustrated and i would like to know what it means, or if i can do anything to help it..
According to Dr. Tamer Fouad, brown discharge during mid-cycle usually indicates "old blood" that is voided as a result of the incomplete shredding of menstruation products, minor vaginal or cervical trauma during intercourse, or hormonal imbalances. Consult with your gynecologist if the problem persists.
