A member asked:

What does it mean when i have a thick brown discharge and you missed your period, could i be pregnant?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Maybe the thick: Brown discharge was your period. Brown discharge is usually older, deoxygenated blood. If you believed that you may have missed your period and are sexually active - then would take a pregnancy test.
