A member asked:

What does it mean when you have off and on dark brown discharge and you missed your period? i am always regular.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do a pregnancy test: If you are sexually active, then do a pregnancy test to exclude pregnancy. If you are not pregnant you may have spotting instead of a regular period. It's not unusual for women to have missed period or an irregular period.
