A member asked:

I had a very light period about two weeks ago and yesterday i started seeing light pink and brownish discharge only when i wipe. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spotting is common: Having pinkish to brown vaginal discharge soon after a light period is common. If sexually active then pregnancy must always be excluded. Persistent irregular periods should be assessed with your local physician and may include an exam.
