For 18 months, since coming off
birth control, I have been experiencing
brown discharge, sometimes mixed with bright red blood, 6-7 days before my actual period starts. My actual periods are normal lengths (5-7 days), and my cycles are typically 28-31 days. I do not have pain during intercourse and I have only noticed a bit of spotting one time after intercourse, however, this was right before this abnormal discharge was due to start.
