Q: Brown discharge with situps?
asked by: NinjaMom on June 20th, 2008

A little bit of completely honest info about me to help, hopefully, answer this question.

I am a 35 yr old mother of two. I have been married to the same man for 15 yrs. We do not use birth control because he had a vasectomy about 8 yrs ago.

I am about 200lbs and am training to get my red belt in karate. So I exercise alot, but I am still overweight. As part of my training I am required to do situps and pushups ... I have a goal and I have to meet that goal by the end of the month.

Situps have never "been my thing". So my goal is 2200 situps in 30 days. What I have noticed is that I am having a brown discharge directly related to the situps. When I do extra I get more discharge... When I do the base amount of situps I get a little bit of discharge. When I skip a day... I do not have any discharge.

Can anyone make anything out of this? I am at a loss...

Thanks

Does this always happen no matter where you are in your cycle? Is it just sit ups-- never any of form of exercise?

I guess I would check in with a doctor just to make sure. Exercise doesn't usually cause bleeding.

Good luck with getting your red belt!

I have been training in karate for 3 years now, and I have never had this happen until this month. This is the first time they have made us make a situp/pushup goal for the month like this. Normally, it would be just one day you came in to class and had to do your required amount for your belt in 2 mins. Which for me at red belt level is 70 situps and 50 pushups. So, I would struggle through and do it.

But now.. I have to get 2200 situps in 30 days... Which is about 70 a day... I never did them routinely like this before.

And it apparently happens whenever I do the situps now... no matter of where I am in my cycle... My cycle this month has come and gone and I am still having the spotting.

Today after my situps... I had what looked like a black period... Which is really weird.

I know I can't be pregnant... The vasectomy has worked for 8 yrs already.
I know I can't have an STD... We have been with each other exclusively forever.

I just don't see anything other than it happens in direct correlation with the situps. Weird.

I would say go to the doc just to make sure. You can call a nurse's hotline also to get a little more immediate info.
