Is tan watery discharge/tan spotting normal for starting a period? only when i wipe. could this be my period? pcos(on metformin)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes..: The menstrual period may start with a faint brownish-pinkish looking discharge. After that( 1-2 days) you should see blood. If it does not behave normally follow up with your doctor on this and continue taking metformin as prescribed.
