A member asked:

Since january.06 im having this brown discharge, and after my period jan.16-22, my brown discharge continues.why? im not on any contraceptive

Hard to say: Your endometrial lining is not totally sloughing. You might benefit from adding some Progesterone or using a contraceptive for 3 months to thin your lining back so you dont bleed between your periods.
