A member asked:

Hi. i just found out that im pregnant but now i have a brown discharge coming out. could this be a sign of ectopic pregnancy? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Sharp abdominal or pelvic cramping during a pregnancy is the hallmark of an ectopic pregnancy although you may not even know you're pregnant as ectopic pregnancy usually occurs during the first few weeks of a pregnancy. Abnormal uterine bleeding may occur.
