Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Brown = old blood: Brown discharge is usually old blood. If your period came on about the correct time then the color and consistency are not that important. If you are concerned then schedule a visit so you obgyn can do an examination and testing
