Question 1

brown discharge week before period on bc cramping?

Accepted Answer

Brown Blood: Brown blood is always a sign of old blood.  B/c still has 1% chance of failure.  I worry about ectopic pregnancy with the cramping.   You need to follow up with ob/gyn.

Question 2

brown discharge week before period due. only 3 days of discharge and now i'm spotting. could i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Its possible that you are pregnant if you are having unprotected intercourse; however, your symptoms are non-specific.  A brown discharge and spotting do not necessarily mean that you are (or are not) pregnant.  The best thingh to do is wait and see if you miss your period.  If you do, you should do a pregnancy test.  Best wishes!

Question 3

pharmacy switched my birth control to other brand but said it was the exact same. brown discharge week before period for several days. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Same generic but...: It may be the same generic formulation, but it may act differently in each person who takes it based upon how much of the active ingredients are changed.

Question 4

having brown discharge a week before period, is it normal ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: In patients who have uterine fibroids, their brown discharge is characteristic of their condition. If the brown discharge occurs every period for you and you do not have fibroids then it is normal as it represents endometrial breakdown products and old blood.

Question 5

enlarged breasts, pink, light brown discharge 2 weeks before period what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Brown = blood : Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections ;  hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do  a home pregnancy test .  There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.

Question 6

i'm am experiencing brown discharge a week before period is due it's odorless and i'm not on birth control is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Not normal, get care: Any new or unexplained vaginal discharge needs professional evaluation. Colored discharge (yellow, green, tan, brown) often means infection. In sexually active women, STDs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomonas are frequent causes, although gonorrhea and chlamydia are uncommon at your age (30). In any case, see your doctor and take it from there. Good luck!

?periods: SM653~ sex on day 29 of a 33d cycle?  No. You are not pregnant. You might be having anovulatory cycles with lengthening of time to period. You should consider seeing an OB GYN if this persists. Thanks

Question 9

i'm on the trinessa (norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol) b.c. (generic for ortho tricyclen). having light spotting and brown discharge a week before period. are they still working?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like: You need a different pill if this is a persistent issue.  It's likely due to lower estrogen at the end.  A 35 mcg pill that doesn't change in doses, mono phasic, is good, may consider Necon 1/35.  There are other things that can cause this like cervical inflammation but lets assume it's the pill, call your doc. They are still covering u unless u r on one of a few drugs that decrease hormone levels.
