A member asked:

Earlier today i had light brown spotting with clear discharge. i have nexplanon but the weekend before i had sex and the condom broke. any ideas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ans: Well begin with a pregnancy test. Brown blood is usually old blood. Now seems no pain or discomfort so most likely just old bloody discharge Yes if the condom breaks you are unprotected. Can always get pregnant. So be careful there.
