embarrassing question
I am 33 years old and always had irregular periods my whole life ...sometime I would not have one for as long as 6 month.......... Anyway's I Had a baby two and a half years ago and again after I was having my irregular periods. But for the last 5 month I have been having a brown discharge when I wipe sometimes with a little hint of red blood but no periods......... It last for about a week once or sometimes twice a month. I am overweight as I have been my whole life ....... I am not Pregnant and I am on no medications or Birth control pills ....... I had a leep about 9 years ago for HPV......What is wrong with me?
I am 29 and I am also experiencing your case. Last month, I also had spottings and it's also in a brown color but if it stays longer in my under garment it becomes more darker. I am married and don't have a child, I thought this was the reason why. But I've been to my ob/gyn had a blood tests (hepa B test, blood typing, cbc), and pelvic ultazound and thank God the results was all normal. She says I had this very slow ovulation co'z she prescribed me provera to regulate my menstruation and predicted that I will be having my next menstruation by Feb.12-15, but I didn't. Until now I'm still waiting for my mensteuation to come then I'll go back to her.Perhaps you should also go to ob/gyn for you to relax your mind
congratulations on figuring everything out, and also for loosing ten pounds, way to go!

Hello,
There are many reasons why women have an irregular period. Common causes are thyroid abnormalities, increase in the hormone prolactin, perimenopause and polycystic ovarian syndrome. What you describes sounds like the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). This is a syndrome marked by hyperandrogenism (male pattern hair growth, virilized hair), infrequent menses, and small follicular cysts on the ovary. And is more commonly seen in overweight women. If this is indeed the case, the birth control pill will be helpful in that it will lower the level of androgen hormones in your body and will regulate your menstrual cycle. You should be seen by your ob/gyn to discuss your history and be evaluated for your symptoms.
Best regards,
