Brown discharge. Period prob?

I’ve had my period for three years, but this week was different. At the end of my period, I started getting brownish discharge on and off. What’s going on?

           

Hey girlie, that brownish discharge could be a couple of different things, none of which you should worry about. What could be happening is that your body is getting rid of old endometrial tissues, which line the uterus, to make room for newer tissues. This cleaning process is perfectly normal and makes sure that your uterus is ready for future periods.  Another possible reason for the brownish discharge is just old blood that’s ready to come out. Just because it’s changed from a red to brownish color doesn’t mean you should be scared.

 

Brownish discharge is quite common, but if it starts to have a strong odor, you should go see your doctor to make sure everything’s OK.  Use your instincts, and if you think something’s up, go get it checked out. Remember-it’s better safe than sorry.

MOD MOD
Is there any way of getting pregnant if you are just sitting in a hot tub with guys? I do it a lot and one of my friends claim that you can. Is there any truth to what she is saying?




You cannot get pregnant unless ejaculate comes into close contact with your vagina, so if you're just sitting, no

MOD MOD MOD!!!
Ok so I have an older sister, but there is a 17 year age difference between us. We are close and she knows I have my period, but I always feel awkward about it with her. I didn't tell her myself when I first got it, and I think the only way she knows is because my mom said something to her. I had to stay with her (she is married with 2 kids) for a long weekend because my parents were out of town. I thought I was going to have my period then, and I was really nervous about it. It ended up coming early that month, so I didn't have it, but it kinda bothered me that I was that nervous. I know she has hers, but I just felt scared to tell her and I don't know why. Please help me be more open about this with her so I can explain why I'm moody and if I don't feel good! Thanks




Take a deep breath and relax--not only is she your sister, but she's a female as well so she'll totally understand

Mod! I have a weird period! i get it almost every other month (sometimes less). I got my first period in January and I have had a lot of discharge. No matter when it is, before or after my period. The color is clear a couple times more yellow. Is this all normal?




Hey girl,

Yup, that's normal. Your period is usually a little "off" for the first 6 months-1 year after you first get it, so be patient until it gets on track. x0x0

MODMODMOD!: Last summer I got my period, and it never came back! What could have caused this? Thanks!




Hey girl,

Usually periods are a little abnormal for the first 6 months-1 year since you get it. However, you should go see your doctor just to make sure that your diet's ok and that your body is ready for your period to come back again. x0x0

MOD MOD MOD How long do u usually experience discharge be4 u get ur period? I have had discharge for about 6 months... is my period coming soon? if discharge continues for 2 months or more should i see a doctor? My family doctor is a man and i don`t feel comfortable talking about it with him! HELP!!

 

 

 

Hey babe. Discharge is usually normal unless it itches or smells. You can have it longer than a year before your period and after. http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/02/09/discharge-details.aspx
