Brownish vaginal discharge before period?

why do I have thick brownish discharge? It's like having a period before my period. I suffer from leg cramps, heavy bloating, extreme fatigue,depression and a thick,brownish discharge for three to four days before I actually get my period. Please advise.

its normal.
my best friend has
it like that.

This is normal. You period blood is not actually all blood. It has nutrients and proteins etc. This brown discharge is just the first layer of your period - which is stacked full of nutrients, which makes it brown. Leg cramps and bloating are 100% normal. My suggestion is to take ibuprofin, it wil help a lot.

I heard that the brown discharge is old blood coming out.

when do you know you are having it?

its Implantation bleeding a sign of pregnancy if you have blood in discharge that's a pregnancy sign it can be pink/brown blood so I don't know what people are saying it normal its not its a pregnancy sign . if you got it on the same day when you starting your period then its not but if its a few days before then yes its implantation bleeding

Dried blood but your body will obsorb it

Hi,I would like to know is it normal for a brownish discharge because last month January I had it. Now this month I had it again with some day is brownish, another day is like red-brown or sometime just red. Not just that my tummy are bloated too. I don’t know is that my pms or pregnant sign because sometime I have my pms early or sometime late. My pms never had been on time.

I don't know if anyone is going to be able to respond to this, or even see it.. but I actually have a question.

Yesterday I had a brownish light discharge... it was one day before my period... thought maybe I was pregnant but later on it started turning red. I've never had a brownish discharge before my period.. just after...

anyway, since it has changed to red.. it's only been light. not much cramping. I don't know if my body just hasn't realized that my period is here because normally I'd have already been cramping like crazy.. or if it's normal to bleed lightly for a couple of days and still be preggers?

Was your previous period lighter than normal? Perhaps you are expereincing the ridding of old endometrial tissue which did not completely leave your body during your last period. It is typical for the remaining endometrial tissue to finally leave your body a few days before your next period. It is now brown because it has lost its hemoglobin which causes periods to be red. Your real period is red and will follow. If you have not been as active or under as much stress in the last couple months, your periods may be lighter for a while. You could be pregnant. You could wait and see if other signs appear or just go ahead and take a HPT. Everyone has different pregnancy experiences. Trust your body.

I have brownish discharge too and now im scared that I might be pregnant

My period is really irregular and I have PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease)I haven't had my period since May 16th.This past Sunday I experienced a brown discharge which I thought was my period about to come. But the spotting stopped and I'm not seeing any signs of my period. Could I finally be pregnant? Is this a BIG sign? I don't know what to think and I don't want to get my hopes up to just be disappointed in the end. What do ya'll think? Could this be it?

I get that too. dont worry about it. but if theres a strong smell that comes along with it, then you should be concerned.

I get this a lot of the time- its so annoying having to wear pads a lot, therefore it can be very stressful. its quite normal. some people say that it might be bacteria- so you must keep your vagina clean all the time. and some times it can smell very bad- so you have to keep getting in the bath. bt theres nothing to worry about because it basically means that your body system is functioning very well. dont worry be happy!

I have gotten the same for years. I've had 3 pregnancies but never had inplantation bleeding. I know some women get this but not everyone does. I do believe it is normal since I'm perfectly healthy and have been having that experience for years.

I am 19 years old and for the past 3 days I have been having a light red and brown vaginal discharge. My periods haven't been regular for the past 7 months and I'm not on birth control, but having sex. I'm getting really worried about this...

please help im so confused.I started a brown discharge on the day I was suppose to come on my period.I uselly have my periods for 8 days this brown discharge has been going for 9 now.When I have my period it starts out brown for like 3 days then gets really heavy and then goes back to light brown.Is this some sort of spotting before my period actually starts?Also my breast are very sore.Is my period just lagging on this time?

I have a slight unusual issue myself. Yesterday I felt kind of wet so I went to the rest room to check. When I wiped I found that I had bright red bloody mucus discharge. I said, wow I started 2 weeks early. That was odd to me. But then I realized its not a flow. Today I came home from work and again the same discharge. It has a slimy, mucusy stretchy texture. Some is dark brown most is red bloody. It's not my period because it's not flowing and nothing really gets on the pad. It's just there until I wipe. This is rather disgusting. Any suggestions? I am 24, I just started birth control for the first time almost 2 months ago.

cass1982... Your breast getting very sore is a good sign of pregnancy. I would take a pg test if I was you.

I have had this since I was 15. I have no idea what it is, its quite regular and occurs in between my actual period (which is a normal consistency/colour etc). I call the other brownish discharge my 'second period'. I have had tests and ultrasounds, and nobody can tell me what it is. Different contraception pills make no difference, it actually seems more regular without pills at all. Any ideas?

I don't understand why women think because they have brownish, pinkish discharge it MUST be implantation bleeding and they must be pregant. Most women do not have implantation bleeding.

If anything, you're trying to get pregnant and you're using the implantation bleeding excuse to hold out for some hope that you are indeed pregnant.

Once you start having brownish/pinkish discharge, most likely blood will follow and you are not pregnant. It's your monthly period.

it's just normal excess junk from the uterus. think of it like snot in your nose. should stop on it's own. still concerned? talk to dr.
