brown discharge after a normal period.

I am 44 years old and have always had a regular cycle.  My most recent period started on March 22-27.  Then on 3/31 up until today there is some very light brown spotting.  I have never experienced this.  Not pregnant and no infections.  Does this mean menopause is kicking in?  I really hope not as I am hoping for a child........ very depressed.

There is a period between menstruation and menopause where that does occur so that is a large possibility. It could also be your uteran wall cleaning itself out (that happens alot after periods) any infection including brown discharge is Vaginitis. Which goes away quickly with propercare. The other possibility is cervical cancer which you might want to receive a Pap for. (Cervic check for cancer) if that case happens.. Not too likely. There is treatments and is one of the less stressing forms of cancer and can get taken care of easily. Hope this helped:)
