A member asked:

Could an orangey brown discharge mean im pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Usually not: Brown discharge may be older, deoxygenated blood. If you are uncertain you can take a home pregnancy test. However if you develop discharge that has an odor, causes redness, swelling, itching or pain - please seek medical evaluation.
