I have a dark brown discharge around the same time I'm supposed to have my period. I'm not on birth control but I have protected sex regularly. I have had unprotected sex a few times but not within the last month. The brown discharge is a very light flow, I only need to use panty liners. What does this mean? Should I go to the doctor?

Dark brown blood is old blood. This is an indication that there is some hormonal change for you. This can occur with stress. If you are really concerned you can see a doctor. Have you done a pregnancy test? I don't really think you are pregnant but it should be ruled out.
