brown discharge few days before period

[norinski]

For the last few months I noticed about 4 days before my period I have a brownish discharge.  I have no pain or blood with it and no strange smells.  It is the strangest thing.  After a few days of this I will get my period.  It's like a warning signal.  My period is the same as always.  I just have this stupid discharge.  Please help.

I have the exact same thing.  I had a scan just to check lining thickness (normal) a few years ago.  I then had a baby and didn't have a period for two years.  when it finally came back and settled down I get this pre-menst bleeding.  I've had it for a year now and the doctor seems to think it's just me.  I've read it can be a heap of things from hormonal imbalance to endo to nasty things.
You should get it checked out at least once I reckon before assuming it is normal for you.

A slight brown discharge before your period is perfectly normal.  Blood that has been exposed to oxygen turns brown so I wouldn't been concerned about the colour of the discharge.  You're body is preparing itself to expel blood and lining so it may release a little bit just prior to your period.  If it seriously concerns you, then check it out with a doctor.  But I have had my period for many years now and my period never starts full-blown.  I usually get a bit of a brown discharge and then it starts a day or so later.

I have the same thing happen a few days beofre my period. It seems to be just excess lining of the uterus I suppose and that my body doesn't necessarily take the signal from the brith control that it is time for my menses. I also think this could be perhaps that fact of an inbalance in hormones and maybe that I need stronger hormonal brith control. Anyone have any opinions?

I am 31 yrs old. I' ve been having brown discharge for over two years now, have visit 4 different doctors, have had all kinds of medical tests and thank god everything is negative and they say I am completely healthy.The last doctor I went said the same thing the other dr.'s said that i have hormonal imbalance and he put me on Yaz,this is my first month on the pill and still had the spotting for 23 days including days before,during and after my period. Actually tomorrow im supposed to have my period, but im actually spotting since yesterday! My only worry is if I will be able to get pregnant!! im going to be on the pill for 3 months to see if it regulates my ovulation then start looking for babies!
Has anyone else had this problem and has been able to get pregnant??!!

I experience the same thing - 3-5 days before my period I get a brown discharge.  That is how i know I have not gotten pregnant.  We have been trying since Feb and nothing yet.  Not sure if this has anything to do with it or not.  It seem like others are experiencing the discharge too.

Well I went back to the doctor,this last monday and in my case, my problem is that I don't ovulate correctly because of my imbalanced hormones. So he said that whenever I decide to have babies,I should notify so he would put me on a treatment (Clomid) so I can ovulate correctly.

Also he had me change contraceptive pills because Yaz is to low on hormones for me... we'll see!!!
