A member asked:

My period is due in about 3-5 days, but starting about two days ago i got a light brown discharge, today it is stringy. could i be pregnant?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Pregnant?: Go to pharmacy and get urine test strips and check. Usually positive within 7-14 days after conception, but may take a little longer. If negative, check again in 5-7 days, good luck.

Period: It is a possibility, but it may certainly be your period that began earlier than usual.
