A member asked:

I had my period a week early but it ended two days early and roughly three days later i started getting brown discharge. what could this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Susan Arnoult answered

Variant of normal: Periods can seem to "stop" and "start" and the brown discharge is probably just old blood.
