Mid cycle brown flow
Hi there,
This is something that has never happened to me before and I apologize in advance for my graphic description.
My period finished ten days ago. Today, I had a really light brown flow. Not exactly spotting but not heavy either. I only needed a pantyliner. When I wiped, it had a little bit of bright red blood mixed too. I had unprotected sex with my husband twice after my period because we are currently trying for a second child. I doubt I am pregnant, because that would mean I ovulated between cycle day 7-11, which is way too early. I have also been charting my temps every morning and it does not indicate that I have ovulated. I have no other symptoms, no itching, no pain, no cramps, the brown flow did not smell bad to me. It just smelled like nothing. I have not been under alot of stress, I've actually been having a great week.
I don't know what is happening to my body :-( should I be concerned? I feel fine.
Thanks

Hi there,
Thank you so much for your answer. I have seen my doctor yesterday and he is sending me for a pelvic ultrasound. He didn't seem too concerned.
Thanks again

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you not to be too concerned about the discharge, but I WOULD recommend a pregnancy test. It may simply be that you just didn't ovulate this cycle and are therefore having strange bleeding. If your pregnancy test is negative, and I would conisder giving you a prescription for progesterone to "clean" all the excess tissue from your uterus during your next period.
If your test is positive, you should definitely contact your doctor ASAP!
Good luck!
