A member asked:

I am ttc, my period is due in 5 days and i have notice brown discharge when wiping- what could this be?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Brown = blood: Brown discharge usually indicated blood. You could check a pregnancy test to see if you are pregnant. If negative then the brown is most likely your period.
