A member asked:

Hi im 12 weeks pregnant yesterday i had sex with my husband after that there was a light bleeding now my discharge is brown in colour?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

12w pregnant ?: After 12 weeks of documented pregnancy (with ultrasound) it is unusual to have a miscarriage. Blood oxidizes after time passes, and turns brown. This bleeding may have been cervical irritation from sexual activity, but if it continues, see your OB provider for an exam.
