False period? Dark discharge? Sign of pregnancy? This past moth I have been spotting you may say. It's like I'm on the last day of my period and I'm just barely spotting. This month (February) I started my period three days early and stopped 6 days later like usual. But I didn't exactly stop. I've been spotting ever since I "stopped" my period. At first it was just a little spotting, but then it progressed to looking like a period. I don't know what it is. I have been practicing unprotected sex for almost a year now, could I be a result of too much rough sex? I have read that sometimes it's a sign that old blood is trapped and is leaking out. Also, my blood isn't red, it's like dark brown, really dark. What could it be? I am quite freaked out about it too since its never happened before. I am wearing light tampons, I am also 17 and have only been sexually active with my boyfriend who has also only been sexually active with me. Any kind of answers will be greatly appreciated.
