Brown Vaginal Discharge.....?
Posted: 01-21-06 00:46am

Well, yesterday I noticed that I had a bit
of light brown odorless discharge in my
underwear that has gotten slightly darker
since then, and I was wondering what would
have caused it. I ended my period on
january 13th, and I dont know much about
spotting because its never happened to me
before. I also received oral from my
boyfriend about a week ago, could that
have anything to do with it? I tried to
look up some info on the net but it seemed
that everything related to brown discharge
was also tied into pregnancy or birth
control pills (but i'm not on those),
which scared me a bit. My boyfriend and I
were laying pretty close to one another,
so theres possibility that some remaining
semen could have gotten a bit too close,
but I would think that it would be too
soon for some sort of mucus plug to form
if I was pregnant, or at least I hope so.
Any ideas?

Spotting is blood, it isn't brown
discharge.
Personally though i've always had brown
discharge right after my period and i've
been to the gyno, there's nothing wrong
with me.

Well, its been a week since my period
ended, and then it came up, I dont know if
that makes any difference.

I've had this, but pretty much only after
I used a "toy" and stuff like that.
Sometimes i've been too dry and not really
realised that I was hurting myself that
much at the time. It's weird though,
because it's brown almost instantly which
seems like it must be old blood? I'm not
sure. It could be related to your
period. If you're worried about
pregnancy, I guess just be more careful
and make sure that semen doesnt get
anywhere near that area when you're lying
down or whatever so that you don't have to
worry. You're most likely not pregnant
though, i've had the brownish discharge
like 3 or 4 times.

Hey girl, I have a similar problem (brown
discharge that isnt period related)
i'm not sure what it is either
i read somewhere that sometimes discharge
is red/brown when you ovulate, but I dont
know if thats the case for you, I thought
it was for me, but i'm not so sure
anymore. I'm gonna wait it out for a few
more days...I'm not keen on seeing a
doctor :s
anyway I hope it gets better for you
dont stress too much, or you'll make it
worse for yourself
take care

Wow, it makes me feel a bit better to know
I wasnt the only one out there. What ever
it was, it cleared up, just freaked me out
while it was there. Thanks for the
support and the info.

I am having that same thing right now.
I'm not on birth control and my boyfriend
and I have not had sex in a few years-
we're waiting for the wedding night- but
we do things to keep it interesting, but
one of us is always clothed on the bottom.
So i'm pretty sure there's not much of a
chance for me to be pregnant- but I am 1
week away from my period and I am having
very brown discharge... I have never been
to a gynocologist but maybe should go?
Does anyone know what's goin on with this?

Just wanted to let you know I also have
the same problem, about a week after my
period, especially if I run or work out a
lot.

You are probably just ovulating. Women
ovulate at different times throughout the
month. My mom spots every time she
ovulates. It happens to some women.

Also you can "spot" when your hormones in
your body changes. I've had that for the
past few months, always a week after my
period had ended. So my doc is now
putting me on a different birth control
that will better suit my hormones.

I've had this problem as well and it
usually occurs 1-7 days after my period
ends. I definitely wouldn't worry about
it.

My boyfriend and I haven't had sex in a
while. The other day, we had unprotected
sex three times in one night. Two days
later I started having this brown thick
discharge. It doesn't hurt to urinate,
and there are not signs of bumps or
anything like that. Is it just my body
cleaning itself out?Its almost like a
brown yeast infection. This is so gross
to write but I am freaked out.

Again.. If you have had your period in
the previous week before the discharge, I
would definitely say it was caused by your
period. I think sometimes there is
remaining blood in there and when
something happens that might cause it to
come out, such as sex, then the remaining
blood comes out. I've had this happen on
several occasions. I seriously wouldn't
worry about it unless you are really
itchy, sore, have an open wound, are
bleeding profusely etc. I'm not a
medical doctor, but i've talked to a few
other women with the same problem, so I
would say it's relatively normal.

When did this start, and when was the
gyno's appointment?
Brown discharge usually signals an
on-coming period. How old are you?

For the past 7 months this is how my lower
region has been:
4 Day period
3-4 Day repreeive
Week of light discharge
Week and a half of discharge so heavy I
have to wear a tampon
4 Day Period
Repeat
Sometimes, I don't get the period, it's
just the discharge. It gets to be almost
just like a period, only brown and
sometimes the tampon will come out black
almost.
I talked to my doctor 6 months ago, I
brought up my concern that it might be the
depro vera shot (birth control). I had not
had my period for the 6 months it was in
my system and thought maybe it was all the
old stuff just coming out. She told me to
come back after like 3 months;because that
would have been a full year since I had
the shot, if it was still bothering me. I
made an appointment 2 months ago, so I go
March 3rd. Yay for busy doctors.
So, what do you have to say about that?
Any thoughts or theories?

Did you go back to her after 3 months,
since it's been 6 months since the first
visit? What did she say then?

Nope, because there's nothing wrong with
you. You do need to go buy another ring
>  There went $20+
dollars into the trash, what a waste!! You
can go buy another ring at the pharmacy.
You ARE NOT PROTECTED RIGHT NOW, so
ABSOLUTELY do NOT have unprotected sex!!
If you're worried, go buy PLAN-B!
SPOTTING IS NORMAL AND TO BE EXPECTED ON
EVERY SINGE KIND OF HORMONAL BIRTH
CONTROL.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with
you. Increased discharge is also NORMAL
and to be expected.
