Pregant:bldg: Dark brown discharge can result from implantation of a fertilized egg, and because of the delay in exiting the womb, may be seen after the period is actually due. If is continues, obtain a serum pregnancy test (not unine) and consult your healthcare professional. Generally this is not of great concern.
