A member asked:

Im on 8 weeks after giving birth and 2 weeks now using birth control pills, i have brown vaginal discharge, what's that means?is tha my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Period or spotting: It's hard to know for sure. You could just be having some spotting.. Old blood is sometimes brown. If you're having any irritation, itching or any other symptoms, or if this going on for more than a few days, make sure you check in with your doctor.
