Brown Discharge Confusion Posted: 07-19-05 03:53am
Hi,
i've been taking the pill for about 4
months but have been on off the pill for
years. My b/f has had a vasectomy a few
years ago and my only real reason for
going back on the pill was because I was
going away and didn't want to come on
whilst abroad. When I begun taking my
second packet I had subconsiously switched
back to a previous brand I used to use and
although I have taken all my tablets on
time etc, about 7 days into my new pack I
begun getting spotting and then dark brown
lumpy discharge. I have never suffered
this before so have been very alarmed.
Furthermore I am suffering from tender
breasts and stomach ache, symptom
associated with both period pains and
pregnancy. I last slept with my b/f about
three weeks ago but surely pregnancy isn't
possible? We have both been tested for
std's/sti's but this was a while ago.
I finish my pack in 10 days and hope a
fake period will arrive but if anyone has
any info that may help me, it would be
greatly apprieciated! I would visit my
doctor however they are currently going
into retirement and I have yet to be given
a new doctor.
Mm

I would definitely go see a gyno, but you
may look into gettin tested for stds
again. I've never had a std, but I do
know that brown discharg can be a sign.
If you use tampons when you are on your
period. Sometimes towards the end of
your period you will have some brown
discharge this is just your body naturally
cleaning you out after your period. If
this is the case I would reccommend
switching back and forth from tampons and
pads during your period. It can also
prevent that very rare disease that
tampons can cause.
