Common Questions and Answers about Brown discharge before period old blood

discharge

Avatar f tn s normal. Brown blood in your discharge is old blood...which is pretty common to have just before starting your period...getting rid of what was left in there before your new period begins.
Avatar f tn Thats very normal to have brown discharge right before, and right after. Its old blood. Sometimes youll get it, sometimes you wont.
Avatar f tn Hi, Brown discharge is usually the result of old blood. An irregular period or delayed (late) period can often shed older tissue that will begin with a darker burgundy or brown appearance because of the older cells being expelled during the start of your period. Bleeding during or after masturbation shouldn't be considered normal; you either need to use a water based lubricant, or be more gentle during masturbation.
Avatar f tn brown discharge before your period is veryyy normal it is the old blood from your last period making its way out before your current one no worries
Avatar f tn Brown blood is old blood. It can even be old period blood. Or if your birth control pills are perhaps doing something like causing a bit too much progesterone in your system, that can cause it. Unprotected sex in terms of pregnancy is okay when you are on the pill (not for std's however). I would see if this pattern of spotting continues and if it does, see your doctor.
Avatar f tn t even finish but now a week before my period i am having brown discharge, no a lot tho. Also i have been stressed this week but im not spotting. i am very concerned. Can someone please help!
Avatar m tn Your body may be preparing to start your period. The brown discharge is called old blood. The first couple of times you may have this discharge but you will eventually have the red blood. I would not worry unless it has an unusual smell, last for over a week or if you start having bad pains before discharge. If that happens go get it checked, until then just relax and see what will happen. Best wishes.
Avatar f tn It is podiible that you might be pregnant go doctor and get a blood test then you'll know. Also I had the brown blood/discharge before too and it was just old blood stuck from the last cycle. Sometimes the blood and pick up discharge on the way out that would explain the stringy brown discharge. Mine took about 2 months to get back on track with my normal cycles.
Avatar n tn I have had brown blood "old blood" starting my period but it was always follow by Red blood "fresh" -- never had the discharge tho
Avatar m tn As I draw nearer to my period date, the discharge seem to get heaver color-wise. It would be light brown discharge one day, then red-ish the next, then back to brown and so on, sometimes red. I'm due in about a day or 2 and just today it started to look more like period blood when I use the bathroom. I thought I would start today, but after a few times on and off through the day, it seem to disappear and has resume back to light brown discharge.
Avatar f tn Brown discharge is old blood. It may just be that your body is expelling it or it could be a sign of infection. Just watch to look for itching, different colored discharge, or a weird smell.
1978961 tn?1378155711 So i was wondering yes i know brown discharge can happen before your period and after as your body gets rid of old blood. But for me ive never had brown discharge before my period . So 9 days before im suppose to start my period i went to wipe and realized it was brownish. so i decided to put a tampon in. and 3 hrs later i took it out. It was brown. Weird for me since this hasnt happened before. I want to know is this a symptom of pregnancy?
Avatar f tn Hi all. I'm 17 years old and I've been on birth control for a little more than a year and a half. I've had brown discharge before but not the week before my period, but during my ovulation. I'm a little confused as to what this means because it's never happened to me before and if I should go see a doctor about it. As of right now, it seems that the discharge is slowing or stopping I can't figure out which one at this point in time.
Avatar f tn I often get brown discharge right before my period like the day or two before. Old blood from my last period perhaps. The other thought is that maybe you have a bit of a yeast infection going on?? Do you have any other symptoms such as itching or clumping of discharge? Typically if you have a yeast infection you are a bit uncomfortable. Anything like that going on? Otherwise, it is probably old blood and your period is about to start. Talk to your mom, don't be afraid!
Avatar f tn It is normal to have brown discharge it is old blood, I am currently taking the pill and have been for about a year and I've had brown discharge twice its normal. Yeah it may still give you pain and feel slightly different but you don't have and infection, and if you are constantly taking b tablets then it's unlikely you are.
Avatar f tn Hi, brown discharge is old blood. From whatever happened during the rough sex and after, that is probably the remnants of it. You've had a pap smear so that is good. If it continues, see your doctor again and look into a hormonal imbalance such as too much progesterone production.
Avatar f tn Brown spotting is typically old blood. I actually often get this the day before my period for some reason. It usually doesn't mean a whole lot. I'd wait to see if you have more and if it continues, a pelvic exam may ease your mind. But I'm guessing it is nothing at all to worry about.
Avatar f tn Brown discharge is old blood which most women get before and just after a period is finishing, it is nothing to worry about and i really don't think you are pregnant.
Avatar n tn Brown discharge is old blood coming out and usually is at the beginning or end of a normal period. Have you had your periods for very long and how old are you? You may want to get on birth control to regulate your periods. I started my period when I was very young and was irregular for years before I got on birth control. It was the best decision I ever made. Not only did it regulate me but I would also know when I would have my period so I could plan activities around it.
Avatar f tn On the day of my suppossed period I got some brown discharge with some blood, I thought i had started my period but through out the day it started getting lighter and lighter so i didnt need a tampon or a pad, just a liner. This lasted 3 days. I got a pregnancy blood test yesterday and it came out negative. I dont have cramps or sore boobs, thats how usually i know im about to start my cycle. I do get a little nauseous in the mornings and lower back pains but it''s not too bad.
Avatar f tn well its hard to say brown blood is old blood dark red is usual normal for a period so you might be just having a lite period or it might be a sign a pregnancy since your period is usual you should take a pregnancy test bleeding won't effect the results
Avatar f tn Brown discharge can happen just before or just after a period. Brown blood is old blood, and is just your body's wayof flushing out what was left from the previous period. If in about 3-5 days your period hasn't shown, then it can't hurt to take a pregnancy test to be on the safe side.
Avatar f tn Hi, The brown blood/discharge is completely normal and usually happens at the beginning or end of your period. It's the body cleaning out the old blood and you really can't stop it from happening. I've also read numerous posts and agree myself, that it does seem to have more of a bad odor to it.
Avatar n tn Lots of women do spot before their period starts up. Brown blood/discharge is old blood and not something to worry about. If you have it more often than a few days before period, talk to your doctor about it. It's nothing to worry about but might mean your hormones aren't in balance.
Avatar f tn Could just be that you had a very light period this month. If you are not on BC, take a pregnancy test! Brown discharge is just old blood, and it is sometimes seen after becoming pregnant.
Avatar n tn Wait a week between sets of tests as you're not likely to get different results within a few days. Brown blood is just old blood, however, blood that's been up there a little longer (remember how blood is blue and changes color in response to exposure to oxygen?). If it was like a normal period aside from that and not just spotting, most likely you have no possible pregnancy to worry about.
Avatar m tn I'm almost 16 years old, and I've had my period since I was 11. The past four or five days there has been this brown discharge on my panties. It doesn't smell bad, and it doesn't hurt, but today, I noticed it hurt a little to go to the bathroom, and when I wiped there was just a tiny bit of blood along with brown discharge. I've never had sex, but I've done other stuff. My next period isn't supposed to start for another week and a half.
Avatar n tn My friend is 13 years old, has never started her period, or had sex, and yesterday she started getting a brown discharge. She heard it was old blood, but she's never started her period yet!! Is this just a sign that she's going to start her period? If so, how long will the discharge occur before she starts her period?
