A member asked:

I have been on nitrofurotoin for cystitis for 3 days. i came on my period as normal but it is brown and very light which is unusual. i am not pregnant?

Irregular menses: Any time there is a disturbance in your hormones due to infection, anxiety and other factors your periods may be altered. The brown discharge sounds like old blood. If this persists with future periods you might want to be checked by your GYN.
