Menses: More than likely these chunks are remnants of your last menstrual period- masses of old blood and fragments of the uterine lining. If these persist, your Gynecologist is best qualified to examine and advise you.

Bloody discharge: Some women due to hormonal influence, may experience spotting or bloody-mucous discharge a few days before starting menstruation.  Recent birth control changes, significant weight changes may contribute to this but it is best to see your gynecologist to be safe, especially if you are sexually active.

Midcycle bleed: You probably had an mid cycle bleed due to the hormone surges associated with ovulating.

Recheck you upt in a couple of days. You may need a serum test at your doctors test to get final confirmation.

Question 7

what is wrong when you have thick, sticky brown vaginal discharge before period is due? also, i took emergency contraceptive 3 weeks ago.

May be nothing wrong: What you are experiencing may be a variation on normal or the effect of plan B. If you miss your period by 4-5 days, do a home pregnancy test. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully.
If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 8

took plan b a week and 1/2 ago and experienced brown chunky discharge in my underwear this morning and bleeding on and off but very light. what is it?

Accepted Answer

PlanB: It is common with planb to have some subsequent breakthrough bleeding (just as you describe) followed by a delay in your next period.  Just make sure you check a pregnancy test in about 2 weeks.

Question 9

i have brown discharge before period?

Accepted Answer

Brown discharge: Is likely to be old, deoxygenated blood being cleaned out of your uterus and is likely to be the beginning of your period.

Question 10

brown watery discharge before period normal?

Accepted Answer

Normal: period related discharge can take on many different appearances depending on the amount of mucus that is being secreted from your cervix around the time of menses. as long as the discharge is not excessive, malodorous, or causing any itching, or pain, it can be normal. Keep watch and consult if getting worse.
