Brown discharge instead of period

Hmm... something's not right.

It was like that... but the doctor didn't find anything, said it was nonsense. From my own experience, I can say that at that time I had gotten too cold from swimming in cold water. If you're on birth control pills, there's really nothing to worry about, it's normal for many people. This can happen after severe stress or just due to body adjustments/hormonal imbalances.

And I've been having this for the last few days. Brown discharge. Is this normal?

I had a miscarriage that started like this.

In your case, estrogen is not outweighing progesterone. Either the former has sharply decreased or the latter has spiked (i.e., an imbalance has occurred due to something—perhaps stress, heat, etc., or maybe a cyst has formed somewhere...).

This month, I'm experiencing the same thing, plus a five-day delay, when usually it's like clockwork. I panicked, but then remembered that I recently had a severe case of poisoning and took antibiotics and other medications in large quantities. I decided to wait and see what happens next time.

I have that, but in my case, estrogen is normal, while progesterone is low. They prescribed Duphaston from the 16th day of the cycle, but I still have spotting from the 22nd day. This nonsense has been going on for the second cycle now.

There was this... they said it was because of endometriosis... they treated it with some kind of tampons... it's better to get checked again, maybe by another doctor.

Rule out an ectopic pregnancy, go to the pharmacy and buy any hCG test, and see a doctor when you have time—just don't delay.

Girls, please help me figure this out! I had my period on July 13th, and a week before that, I was intimate with my husband, but he actually finished everything in the sink)) On June 30th, I started having brown discharge that lasted for two days. The tests are negative, but my period hasn't come yet, and nothing hurts (today is August 7th). What do you think, did I dodge a bullet??? Please reply quickly, and thank you so much in advance for your answer).

Same here! Word for word, only my last period was on June 16th, I was intimate before that, he didn't finish inside me, two days ago I started having dark brown discharge, no period, and the test is negative.

Typical endometriosis. Usually, the period will start in about a week. Go see a doctor instead of making all sorts of assumptions here.

Hello, could someone please advise if anyone has experienced this or knows what it might be? I was on birth control for 1.5 years and then stopped taking it. After that, I apparently had a hormonal imbalance, and my periods became irregular. I consulted a doctor, who said everything was fine and that my periods should normalize within 2-3 months. It's been about 3 or 4 months now, but they haven't returned to normal. In June, they started on the 3rd, in July on the 9th, and now it's the end of August, and they haven't come. I have a regular sex life, and at the beginning of August, I had unprotected intercourse without withdrawal—I don't remember the exact date, but it was definitely before August 7th. After that, around mid-August, I had back pain near my kidneys, which I usually get before my period. I waited for it, but nothing happened. Then, I started having some slight brownish spotting, just a little bit, and a couple of times, there was even a tiny drop of blood on my underwear, but nothing more. I have no pregnancy symptoms and have taken two tests, both negative.

Girls, help me out, give me some advice. My husband and I want a baby! We're not using protection. For three months, nothing happened. We've done all the tests, ultrasounds, etc. Everything is normal. Again, I thought my period was starting (mine are like clockwork), but for three days now, there's only been a little spotting and my stomach feels tense. I've been feeling a bit nauseous. The test is negative, but last time it only showed a positive on the 10th day of the delay. But it didn't work out, it was non-developing. Can I hope for joy?

On July 30th, I had unprotected, interrupted intercourse. Since I was still a virgin, he only entered twice, and the hymen was torn but not completely. There wasn't much blood. The next day, bleeding started and lasted for 5 days. After August 10th, what seemed like a normal period occurred, though my cycle shifted slightly. Now, my next period started on the 5th, but instead of the usual menstrual flow, I'm experiencing brown discharge! What could be the cause? I've taken a test since the act, and it came back negative.

Hello. I'm 22 years old. My periods have been a bit irregular since I became sexually active. My husband and I use (if you can call it that) the withdrawal method for contraception. Before my period, my breasts always hurt, and I get a pulling sensation in my lower abdomen and lower back. My period was supposed to start on September 13th, but on September 8th in the afternoon, I felt a slight pulling in my lower abdomen and lower back, like before my period. I was surprised when I noticed brown spotting. The last time we had intercourse was about 1.5 weeks before that. The spotting lasted for 4 days. It was painless, and my breasts didn't hurt at all, which really surprised me. Today is September 19th (so it's already a 6-day delay for my normal period). My period still hasn't come. On the third day of spotting, I took a pregnancy test. It was negative. For the past week, I've been feeling tired; I sleep through my alarm in the morning and feel sleepy all day. Nothing hurts. I've noticed that I've become calmer and don't react sharply to anything. My mood has improved. Could this be pregnancy?

It's most likely just a hormonal imbalance. If you recently started being sexually active, your cycle is simply adjusting and changing. The spotting you had was something like a period; that happens sometimes.

Ladies, please advise! A week ago, I had sexual intercourse that did not finish inside me. I've had a 4-6 day delay and now brown spotting has started. What could this be, and should I be worried?

So how are things with you? Are you pregnant? I have the exact same problem! The test is negative... I'll just wait it out and do another test.

Hello! I want to tell you something - my boyfriend and I were making love. First, we had intercourse using the withdrawal method, and then about half an hour later, we decided to try without it, but he didn't go in completely because a phone call interrupted us. I'm afraid I might get pregnant, but he insists he didn't finish inside me. Should I be worried or not? I've searched many websites, and they say so many things that I'm shaking with fear to death, and I haven't slept for nights in a row! Please help - I haven't taken a test, haven't been to the gynecologist, and didn't take any contraceptives! Thanks in advance.

Hello. I'm in this situation. I had a two-month delay. I took a test, and it was negative. And now, for three days, I've been having brownish spotting. What could this be? Nothing hurts.

Hello! I have a situation: I had intimacy with my husband in the first few days after my period, and it's been about three weeks now. All this time, I've been experiencing pain similar to menstrual cramps, with lower abdominal pain, bloating, a sore lower back, and swollen breasts. My period is still a week away, but today the pain has become more unbearable, and I have brown discharge. Could this be pregnancy? Thank you in advance!)))

Hey! Are you 14?? So funny)

Oh, some people are afraid of getting pregnant, while others dream of it. I had a laparoscopy for endometriosis 7 months ago, and now these brown discharges and pains are back. The gynecologist said the endometriosis has returned, and I need another laparoscopy :(( I just feel like crying.

Hello everyone) Maybe my situation will be helpful to someone. On the day my period was due, I had brown spotting. It lasted for a few days. I read some forums and found out that pregnancy could be the cause. Honestly, I bought a test just in case, a few days after the spotting, convinced that I probably just caught a cold, but definitely not pregnant. However, the test came back positive. I'm now in my 4th month of pregnancy. To break it down by dates: I had unprotected sex with my husband on September 5th, the spotting started on September 24th, and the test showed a positive result on September 27th.

A month ago, I had a medical abortion... A week ago, I took an Ella 72 pill just in case... On January 1st, I felt some drops and noticed black spotting. Today is already the 6th, and it's still happening. My left ovary hurts, my nipples were sore and swollen but aren't anymore... I'm afraid I might be pregnant. I'm scared of everything after the pregnancy.

I'm a bit concerned about the pale brown discharge. I haven't had my period for a while; it was supposed to start back in December. My last sexual contact was five months ago. Before this, my cycle was regular. Now, I'm experiencing a slight pulling sensation in my lower abdomen, similar to menstruation, but the discharge remains light brown.

Ladies, please help. I've been taking birth control pills for 10 months now. Before my last period (which was supposed to start on January 3rd), my husband and I had sex using a condom (since I found out I had a urinary tract infection, I got treated, and I'm waiting for him to get treated too). So, I had both birth control and condoms for the whole month since my last heavy period. On the 3rd and 4th, there was some brown spotting and that's it! Today, my lower back has been hurting all day, and I feel a tingling sensation in my lower abdomen. It aches sometimes. What could this be? Logically, there shouldn't be any chance of pregnancy with double protection, but I'm still worried.

Hello... I had a 7-day delay, then brown discharge started, and it's still happening now... During the day, there's nothing, but in the evening when I bathe, actual chunks come out! What could this be? I can't get to a doctor... I'll be able to see one in about a week... I recently gave birth, my baby is 7 months old. My husband and I don't use protection, but we're careful with everything... Help...

Hello, I had an unprotected sexual encounter with my boyfriend; it seemed like he didn't finish inside me. After 10 days, I took a test and it was positive. A couple of days later, I started having spotting. It's been a month now, and I haven't had my period, but I'm spotting again, and the test isn't showing anything. I can't see a doctor. Can you tell me if I could still be pregnant?

Two weeks ago, I had unprotected sex, and my partner didn't seem to finish inside me. Now, my period is four days late, although my cycle has sometimes varied by 1-3 days. I bought a test, and it came back negative, but instead of my period, I've had unclear brownish discharge for the last two days. It's cold at work—could I just have caught a chill, or is it pregnancy after all? Please respond; this is very important.

Yeah, right.

Hello. I'm in this situation. I had a two-month delay. I took a test, and it was negative. And now, for two days, there's been light brown spotting, not heavy. What could this be? Nothing hurts!

For the past 4-6 months, my periods have been coming 2 days late.
The last sexual intercourse was in mid-December. I got my period on January 15th. I took a test on January 13th, and it was negative. Now, I'm on the 4th day of brown spotting, my breasts hurt, and I'm feeling dizzy. My boyfriend and I broke up—what should I even think?
(We didn't use protection, he finished inside me, I took the pill within 72 hours, and this wasn't the first time. The last time, I took the pill late.)

Good afternoon!
I'm in a situation where my husband and I are not using protection. I had a 5-day delay, and on the 6th day, I started spotting. The test, of course, showed nothing. I don't know what to think. I'm not taking anything, and my periods have always been on time.

Hi. Tell me what's wrong with me. I had sexual contact in January, and then after a couple of months, three days. Everything was fine. My next period was supposed to start on February 2nd, but it started on February 6th, but it wasn't like usual; for two days, I only had spotting. I've never had that before. When I eat at work, I feel slightly nauseous and dizzy afterward. I can't go to the hospital because of work. Tell me what's wrong with me.

Hi, I'm in the same situation, don't know what to do myself.]

My period was supposed to start on the 16th, my cycle is irregular, and I had unprotected sex two weeks before my period. On the 16th, instead of my period, I had brown discharge that lasted for 4-5 days and then stopped, but my period still hasn't come (I'm afraid to go to the gynecologist, I tried everything possible at home to induce my period, but it's still not here (((.

Hello, my first time was on February 15th, and there were two more instances after that, but we used protection, and nothing seemed to get inside me. On March 5th, light brown, light discharge started. That month, my period began on February 8th, and it hasn't come yet. What could this mean?

I recently watched the 'Health' program with Malysheva, they talked about this, about what you have. So, it's actually a medical condition. You definitely need to get treatment from a gynecologist, you should watch this episode online yourself.

Hello. I'm 16 years old. My period was supposed to start yesterday or today, but it still hasn't come. I'm very worried and living in constant fear. Yesterday after the bathhouse, I noticed dark brown discharge and thought it had started, so I put on a pad, but it's still clean. I have mild pulling pains in my lower abdomen, as usual before my period, and the day before yesterday, I had a temperature of 37°C. I haven't had actual sexual intercourse, but two weeks ago, my boyfriend came on my hands, and after a while, I touched myself there. I'm very anxious; please help.

Hello. I'm 16 years old, and I think I have some minor issues with my female genitalia. In January 2015, I lost my virginity during my period, and it was excruciatingly painful. I couldn't sit comfortably for a couple of days. My periods are normal, everything is fine, and my cycle isn't disrupted. But now, a week before my period, I have a terrible pulling sensation down there, everything hurts, there are strong gas-like discharges, semi-bloody discharges—nothing shows on the pad, but they appear on toilet paper. I'm shaking all over, I haven't told my mom, she doesn't know I'm not a virgin yet, and I decided to write here, hoping maybe you can help me.

Hello, I have an 8-day delay, my lower abdomen is pulling, the test is negative, I have brown discharge instead of my period, and my basal temperature after ovulation was 37.4 in the first week, 37.3 in the second week, and 37.2, 37.1, and 37 in the third week until now. I am still taking Duphaston. What is this? Please answer.

Hi everyone. I had unprotected sex with a guy, but he didn't finish inside me. Instead of my period, I had black discharge for about two days. The test was negative; I took one on March 15th and another today, March 28th, which was also negative. My lower abdomen has been hurting for a couple of days like it does during my period, but it hasn't started. I can't go to the doctor because of my studies.

Hello. I have this issue. I started having brownish discharge, and I thought it was my period starting, but when I went to the bathroom in the morning, the discharge disappeared. What could this be? I haven't had any sexual activity for a long time. Please help.

Hello, I have this issue: my period is 49 days late, all the tests I've taken are negative. I had an ultrasound three weeks ago, and they said it's a hormonal imbalance, and the gynecologist says the same. When I sleep on my stomach, I feel discomfort, and yesterday I started having a little bit of brown spotting and some abdominal pain. Could you please tell me what this might be?
