A member asked:

Brown discharge 1 day before period then nothing else. now 14 days late, i have the brown discharge again. all hpt were negative.what could this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discharge: Is there any odor with the discharge? I am wondering if you could have a retained tampon, perhaps. Have you been under a lot of stress or had other big changes that could upset your menstrual regularity? Home pregnancy tests are good but not perfect. See your doctor for vaginal exam. Consider blood test for pregnancy.
